Nope - that is the last weekend I'm home before going to PPIHC - not good for marital harmony being gone 3 weekends in a row.

Thinking about doing it. Heard it is very tight. Any opinions on it?

Fun fun fun....Lots of whoops, some fast open sandy stretches, and fun single track. This was my first "pay to ride" event I'd ever done, and I was hooked after the first few miles. My only warning is: The further to the back of the pack, the larger the whoops!
Here's my vid from last year.

I'm probably not going, but thats due to some scheduling issues.
That was a great ride. Trialsrider, Grady, and I teamed up and had a blast. I'm pretty sure the other DAMN team of Kyler, Dan, and Dave also had a good time. It was also an easy event to learn to use a rollchart, b/c it was so well marked that you really didn't need one. The whoops beat me to death but it was awesome.
"Tight" is a relative term. As you can see from the Grady's awesome footage, its generally way tighter then the PB500, but its not too bad.

I think the tightest ride is the Hammer Run - I may cut down my bars for this year's ride.
