Southern California - Anybody else organizing a Funcace Creek 508 team?

My partner and I are think of signing up in the women's 2X category! I think we can do it!:D

Thanks for starting the thread again Beanz!

I am planning on the 508 (http://www.the508.com) and think that the BF group is planning on having a couple of teams.

Are you doing it alone?..My thread is only a joke. But If I were to do it I would do it alone....errr,attempt it alone:eek:

I am planning on splitting the Hoodoo 500 with one other guy and completing the 508 as a team of 4. I have enough other events and occurances this year without worrying about training for a solo 508 attempt.

Probably why I won't attempt it. I'd like to do it alone, but I don't want to train!:D

Now I see the photos (since I am at home) and I understand wanting to do the route solo instead of being paired with him/her/it... :lol:

This is not that bad, and just think of how much beer I am going to want to drink after riding 1/4 of the 508!!! :beer:

9/15 HooDoo 500 (http://www.planetultra.com/Hoodoo500/index.htm) (either 2) - 512 miles, ~30,000 feet of gain
9/22 Everest Challenge (http://www.everestchallenge.com/) - 208 miles, 29,035 feet of gain
9/29 Moonlight Magic (http://www.planetultra.com/Moonlight/index.htm) - 100 miles during the full moon, 2850 feet of gain
10/5 Furnace Creek 508 (http://www.the508.com/) (4 people on the team) - 508 miles (duh!), ~35,000 feet of gain
