Anybody have any thoughts on which you'd do if you were looking for a ride that weekend? Have you done one or the other in the past and can comment on it?

Thanks

I've done the Cowtown twice and it ain't so great buddy. Forney hasn't run in a couple of years, but it's on my to do list. I vote that one, as long as we get a ride report.

Don't bag out! It's doesn't suck. It's just OK. Nothing special.

How about a little more specifics: why does it suck - or not?

The roads are 90% chip seal. The start was a little disorganized. The rest stops didn't all have port-a-pottys and they ran out of snacks and gatorade. Stuff like that. It's just OK. I did it last in '05
