I signed up to do the Arch ride for the first time this year. Anyone else doing it? I'm wondering what people usually do for a shuttle. I think I may just ask a friend to drop me off at the start that morning, but was wondering if anyone sets up vanpools or anything?

Usually, riders buddy up a shuttle for this one. That's what I've done in the past. There are no organized van-pools setup by SDMBA.

I see you already posted this question on the SDMBA forum. That's where the traffic regarding carpools is usually located in past years. I'm guessing the carpool notices/requests will start ramping up in the next week or two.

Yeah. Nothing on there other than occasional adventures of a beaver.

You have to be a member to be invited to ride and that came via email. I "think" you could join and then ride if spots are available. Check their FB page which is where most of their info goes nowadays

I have not received an email saying the ride is full.

Join and email the SDMBA membership address asking to register for the Arch.

As of yesterday, I believe there are still around 30 or so spots left. Hope to see you out there.

A couple of us pre-rode the course last weekend, they still had a couple sections to finalize.

There are some route changes vs prior years mostly because SD can't help itself from building more houses everywhere. I'm not gonna spill the beans on what's new but overall I like the new route a little better than the old. Though that may be just because it's different. Some changes were improvements, others were just necessary to complete the route. Tunnel 4 is now officially, and legally, part of the route- about friggin time!

Baby rattler was first obstacle on the day
Image

A bit of horse trail was surprisingly nice - partly shaded, slightly downhill and lightly used (no fresh piles). Nothing says nature like 10 ft wide and lined by wood fencing on both sides!
Image

A bit of welcome shade before the Hellfin climb. Thankfully the Once is Enough descent down to Hodges is still IN. I couldn't wait to ride that excellent section of TRAIL.
Image

Plenty of flowers out too
Image

Image

And plenty of green
Image

Skirting round a new housing development
Image

Owhee trail...or is that Lilac?
Image

Image

Jungle Trail 2.0
Image

Someone been buildin jumps on the trails. Guess if you go fast enough you sail through the uprights?
Image

Good day all in all, nice to finally get a long ride in.

Cool report. Glad they added Tunnel 4 in. Looking forward to seeing the reroutes. Guantlet was super overgrown (mostly just grass) when I rode it 4 weeks ago. I hope some did some maintenance out there. :)
