Last week was the Salida Scramble up in Salida Co., put on by Tom Sobal...when I wrote and asked how it went and if he had any results, he sent me this that I share with you...
**************************************
We had 16 starters and also 2 burros. Only 6 people did the full course, 2 people almost did it by completing 16.5 miles( including a 79 year old man). 17.5 miles/3500' climb and descent for the long route.
The other 8 people did 11 miles, with 2200' of climbing (including the burros). Finishing times were in the range of ~3 to 5.5 hours in this non competitive gathering.
This was the fewest finishers for the full course we have ever had. Are people getting lazier/older/smarter or more like burros????
Although it was a good clear day weather wise and there was no snow on the route, no records or anything else of note happened. We had a great potluck at our house afterwards.

Up Next is Guaje Ridge this Saturday, put on by David Coblentz. 21 miles of nice trail running and hills.
