The climbs, dirt (sand) roads, and singletrack will require a compromise on gearing that the TACORIDE did not.

MK, is there a date decided for this ride yet???

Is there anything I can do using topofusion, since I will only come out there to do the ride, to help sketch a viable gpx file??

Los-
 
I know you have a keen eye for these sorts of rides. If you want to use my track linked above as a guide and look for "dirtier" options that would be great. Particularly the route South from croom.
 
Luis suggests 7/23 but that date is probably not good for me. 7/30 might be better and give me time to plan out the route well enough to provide a GPX and cue sheets. Then we can have an all-drop ride and not worry about those that get dropped :)

Gonna have to put this ride temporarily "on hold" while I do more exploring. Turns out many of the roads I planned to use go thru dreaded "private property", which is a shame because there were some great roads and beautiful views. It's too bad, but this ride might have to use more paved roads than I would like.

After growing frustrated in SanAn i decided to go check out the Green Swamp lands, particularly the Cumpresso tract. I may pursue a good route for a group ride in the Green Swamp before I do any more work on the MEGARIDE.

Attached are some pics from the ride.

Also realized when I was deep in the Swamp that i forgot my inflator and hand pump. Prudence suggested I not go too far away from my car.

As the pic below shows, always listen to Prudence. I rode the last mile (paved) on a flat rear tyre.
