Headed out and did 17.5 miles out at Santos MTB Park. There was an event going on there, "The 12 Hours of Santos". The 12 hours runs from 10am to 10pm, and consists of various races- timed lap races in different classes, and the 12 hour ride....where racers do as many laps around the track that they can in 12 hours...insane!

 My co-worker Jeff and I ended up pulling off 17.5 miles on this trail today. We tried to keep up with some of those racers, but its hard to keep up on a sub-$1000 bike. Many of these guys were riding carbon fiber frame bikes and they were simply smoking us. By the end of the ride, we were toast. The above GPS map only shows the first 11.5 miles we did. We took a lunch break, then headed out to do 6 more miles. All in all, we hit Dr. Ruth, Sinkhole, Spedway, Marshmallow,Canopy, Bunny, Twister, Dog Bone, Cow Bone, Back Door, and Pine Tree trails. Insane!
