Day 2 - Base Camp

Tuesday was certainly action packed. What a day to put in the books. Amazing drive, A helpful crew, A nice pre-ride(one tire wash-out), and a base camp we honestly could not have dreamed up.

The last two up Tuesday AM - North Platte, NE.

First stress of the day - getting all of this to fit for the final leg through the mountains.

Billy was so relieved to finally get out of that trailer.

Meticulously unpack - save every ounce of padding. Not a one single scratch, dent, scuff, or broken part. I was amazed.

Let the mess begin.

Slowly but surely base camp was coming together.

Start/Finish/Hang-out below...Ha!

Great tent placement will keep these boys sleeping.

Casey washed out a tire, however his is ok(I don't think anything could keep this kid down).

Aris does the UCI 4.2 mile Pro Lap. 26minutes of climbing - maybe a 60 second descent - 4-5 times.

The peeps are saying the Non-Pro course is even harder - 8+ miles. Single track climb up a face, then descend, climb same face, descend, repeat, repeat. No switchback, just up down up down. No time for rest.
