Epic Climbing Camp

I'm really excited about my plans for this weekend. I will be staying at a cabin at Lake Henshaw. It is located at the base of East Grade Rd of Palomar Mountain. I will be riding Saturday-Tuesday. I am publicly stating my goals so that I have to live by them.

THIS CAMP IS FOR SPECIFIC TRAINING IN THE PURSUIT OF 14 HOUR EVEREST CHALLENGE AND A 36 HOUR FURNACE CREEK 508 SOLO.

MY GOAL FOR ELEVATION GAIN FOR THE FOUR DAYS IS 50,000 FEET

MY GOAL FOR MILEAGE IS 400 MILES

MY GOAL IS TO INCORPORATE ONE NIGHT RIDE (6PM-6AM)

  1. I did South Grade twice from Pauma Valley last night on thefull moon. What an awesome time. From where you are at Henshaw, make the trip to Montezuma Grade as part of your night ride

  2. Hey George,
    This is Matt, the guy from SDBC you did some climbing with Saturday. Question for you.....I noticed you were training on some Kenda tires that looked pretty beefy, and I was wondering what model they were, and how puncture resistant they are? Have fun out there!

    Thanks,
    Matt

  3. Matt,

    I am sponsored by Kenda Tires. The model I use is Kenda C2C. It was a tire designed for Tinker Juarez when he was preparing/racing Race Across America. They are incredibly puncture resistant. I rarely flat on them and usually run them down until they are so thin that I need to replace them for that reason only. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THEM.

    On another note, send me your email so I can send you the pictures we took of the four of us at Lake Henshaw.
