Extreme Veteran  700   Tucson |  Subject: PBR Off-roadSo I'm about 9 weeks post shoulder surgery and am thinking that a 750m swim in Oct might be feasible...but I have little to no interest in mtn biking. My husband on the other hand is a mtn bike fiend but won't swim or run......can you do the PBR as a relay? I didn't see any prices or options for it on RedRock or Active. |

Master 2411 Goodyear, AZ | Subject: RE: PBR Off-road Last year I emailed them and they said yes, we ended up not doing it but the hubby and I might try for it again this year as a relay (he's the mtn biker!). You can probably email them from the website  |

Extreme Veteran 700 Tucson | Subject: RE: PBR Off-road I sent them an email...nothing yet (if they are anything like I am, it could be awhile). If you do end up doing it as a relay, let me know we can hang out while the husbands try to injure themselves. |

Elite 3602 Mesa, AZ | Subject: RE: PBR Off-road Heh heh, PBR. I did it last year. REFUSE to do it this year. Any race that lists me as a DNF that I did not DNF will not get my money again! But honestly it was UBER FUN!!! |

Extreme Veteran 344 Maricopa, AZ | Subject: RE: PBR Off-road I plan on doing the PBR. I am looking forward to mountain biking, hoping that I can put some of my moto skills to work. Are the downhill trails plenty wide enough for passing????

Elite 3602 Mesa, AZ | Subject: RE: PBR Off-road There is plenty of room for passing in some spots. Some single track (mainly the downhills) but a few parts are doubletrack and I even remember people walking uphills, they'll tend to get out of your way but that was hard to pass. It's pretty crowded as its a small loop that you do twice but I was able to pass and be passed. Edited by sportyj 2008-07-08 5:05 PM |

Extreme Veteran 384 Mountain View, CA | Subject: RE: PBR Off-road How technical is the course? I guess I could just trail run it and see if I'd kill myself on my mountain bike. My mountain biking "skills" are questionable (my boyfriend jokes that when I see a big rock I fall off my bike, which is not far from the truth). |

Elite 3602 Mesa, AZ | Subject: RE: PBR Off-road You'd be FINE!!!!! Not technical! I mean it has some bumps but any recreational rider could do it for sure!!! We could do a pre-ride sometime soon if you want! |

Extreme Veteran 384 Mountain View, CA | Subject: RE: PBR Off-road Oh word. That sounds cool! I suppose if I see any rocks I could do some cyclocross. I'd definitely be up for a ride at some point... maybe when it gets cooler. |

We could do a pre-ride sometime soon if you want! I would be up for a pre-ride. I had plan on going out there and riding the trails a few times, but it would great to go with someone that knows the course. I am hoping that by getting a road bike, I will improve my climbing on the mountainbike. Downhill is my strong point. |

Expert 983 Tempe, Arizona (hot hot hot) | Subject: RE: PBR Off-road I did the PBR loop about a week ago and the course was not that hard. The downhills are wide. But just one is wide enough to people to pass. I did it with my hard tail trek and it made it. I snapped a chain but I am also 300Lbs so most of you wont have that problem. Cody(Ox) |

PBR RD changed the course four time within the week of the race. The last one was the night before the race, talking about duhhhhhh!!!! Oh and the T-shirts wasnt all that great ;-( but I did get a box of guuuuuuuu Anyways, I may not do the race this year but we'll see FYI they are running 3 bike laps this year instead of 2. |

Expert 983 Tempe, Arizona (hot hot hot) | Subject: RE: PBR Off-road I am getting a wet suite before the PBR. I am thinking I will do the Nathans without. And what is up with 3 laps? I just checked the web sight last week. 3 laps puts it at 15 miles. Damn long mountain bike ride. Ox |

Elite 3602 Mesa, AZ | Subject: RE: PBR Off-road OHH they are jost trying to make it longer? Well they should make it Oly length then, if the mtn bike is 15 miles up the swim and run too!  Moto - really its a good race. The course is FUN, its a good challenge! I cannot remember if I wore a wetsuit last year, I want to say yes??? Edited by sportyj 2008-07-10 10:34 AM |

Extreme Veteran 700 Tucson | Subject: RE: PBR Off-road So I've never riden a mtn bike in my life.....any hope that I would be able to suffer through 15 miles and NOT be the last person to finish? Although, I've come to be more accepting of the end of the group as I get left in the dust on our Mt. Lemmon efforts. Say we're going to mile 12....people pass me coming down before I've hit mile 6. |

Expert 748 Big Bear City, California | Subject: RE: PBR Off-road From the website: The course requires a proper mountain bike or cross-bike The fact they mention the cross bike makes me think they made the course a touch easier even. And now I want to do it even more... I lurve my cross bike. |
