Day II 2016 LaB2V challenge

This was the weekend of the annual AMA Dist. 37 LA to Barstow to Vegas (#LAB3V2016) EVENT!  OF THE 600+ riders, quite a few GS Giants (#gsgiants) took on the two day challenge of about 450 miles of desert and mountains.   The link. below, takes you to my facebook thread from day two.  What follows is an excerpt from the beginning of the day.

Pre dawn, somewhere... the rumble of snoring is is slowly muffled by groans, slurps of java and the klink of wrenches busting knuckles into the second day of the challenge. Welcome to Day-Two of the 2016 LA-B-!
Jeff Kurtz If you would... any Giants with trackers that we didn't have details for (which is most of you...) Please PM a link to me. Meanwhile I'm headed back to zzz-land to prepare for a grueling day behind the keyboard(s). Have fun for us!

Ian Schmeisser Due to environmental reasons, there's a general route but they do alternate from year to year. This used to be a huge *race* until the desert tortoise people made that not possible.
