This event is the brainchild of the amazing Brian Lang and each route was expertly hand crafted by Kyle Inman and Jeff Cheng! The experience has been greatly enhanced by the fantastic Rob Issem!
Start / Finish site is the backcountry, scenic home of our cycling friend Richard Henegar, Jr. Please note, there is a 10' height limit to get through the tunnel, so if you're in a tall van or camper, please use alternate camping along Nace Road.
