Moving the start to Targhee means that the Bustle Creek climb comes late in the lap. Ouch.We attempted a pre-ride of the entire course yesterday but heavy rain on Saturday left the Rick's Basin singletrack too wet to ride so we skipped the first 5-6 miles of the loop. I am still not sure how long a lap will take me at endurance race pace but I think it will be more than 2.5 hours. There is about 3,900' of climbing per 25-mile lap.

oh Bustle looks hurtful in the chart but How many miles to climb the 1,300 ft.?

Ok, I'm guessing 3.8 miles...

The Bustle Creek climb is only about 2 1/2 miles but it gains well over a thousand feet, then you get spit out onto pavement and have to climb another mile on pavement before dropping down onto the new singletrack on Targhee property. Oomph.
Dave, will you carry me up the climb? ;)
