I was lucky enough to go to the 1st last year and this years edition of the GRINduro. Held on the U Lazy S ranch outside Post Tx. It's limited to 66 riders who are lucky enough to get your money in first, lol. Some of the who's who in Texas offroad riders and a few National stars.
I'm sure I'll miss a few as there wasn't a formal introduction, this isn't about stars but offroad riders riding for a cause and huge fun. This property is very technical and challenging property for a flatlander like me. I did 3 climbs I'm not sure I would try again, peer pressure in a conga line of 14 riders, not time to bail. In the 2 days I got in around 70 miles. Some climbs and drops I might not normally try, lol.
8 time National Enduro champ Dick Burleson, Endurocross champ(and other things) Cody Webb, S/X rider Andrew Short, road race legend Kevin Schwantz, and Ben Spies, Gregg Storie, and famous Houston lawyer Dan Cogdell, who was in our group. Cole Kirkpatrick is the ringleader, lol.
Cody Webb is flat out amazing, in Sundays extreme ride our group got to watch him out in the cliffs putting on a show on totally unbelievable cliffs.
Being I'm old n slow I didn't get to ride with the names, lol. They break us up in I think 6 groups with a ride leader in each. The good thing, we got to ride with Landowner Richard Kirkpatrick. Last year he was easy on us but had confidence in our group and took us on some great trails. I think he sent 6 of us on 4 splits that some skipped, so that was a treat.
