I have had a heck of a time finding off-road events in our area. I have a couple buddies that have been at it for a while and that is how I found out about this one. I am not into the competitive thing either, but in talking to a few different people, this is very laid back, not much of a race except the 'money' classes, which run at a different time than everyone else. I did the desert 100 in Odessa this last spring, and had a blast, and everyone I have talked to so far have said this ride is easier than that, and even more family friendly, so I am looking forward to it. I will post a ride report when I get back.
