Edit - Several of our guys waited to send in their forms, so we had to get the trail list modified to accommodate.


A few of us will be there from Texas. Anyone from CK5?

Our revised trail list:
Wed - Habanero Falls
Thu - Patzcuaro's Revenge
Fri - Rocotillo Rapids
Sat - Tabasco Twister

Are spectators allowed this year?

Per the CC web page - "The Challenge is for registered participants only, there are few spectator opportunities."

Cool pictures of those trails on the website! Looks great!

I plan to be there Friday and Saturday. Probably will run Cayenne Crawler and Off Broadway.

I years past, spectators caused more impact to the area than the wheelers. Las Cruces BLM does not want a bunch of spectators so much so that they have not allowed Patz to be run on Saturday. Patz is an easy walk from the trail head/parking area.

We're camping at the fairgrounds, I'll post a pic of my set-up - come by and have a cold beer

Sounds like a plan. Here's a couple of shots from last year:

We will staying a my brother-in-law's place next to the Rio Grande north of Pichacho (US 70). But, we will be at dinner both Friday and Saturday nights.

This was posted on our Texas board last night. I am getting excited!





Just got back from a quick trip to Las Cruces and were surprised how the trails have changed from 2 yrs ago. Erosion is very evident!

Yall will have a blast at Chili Challenge - here are some pics to show you what you are in for!

Nemesis I on Patzcuaro's Revenge

This is the "bypass" to the left of Nemesis I

Nemesis II on Patzcuaro's Revenge - maybe the only one not washed out.

The Abyss on Tabasco Twister - totally wicked.

Another shot of The Abyss

Had a great time. Ran Habanero, Patzcuaro, Rocotillo and Tabasco. Didn't break anything or pull any cable. Cut a sidewall on Patzcuaros, plugged it and had it fixed next morning locally.

Only two pics I took of rigs.
