Official Thumper EB Pre-Ride: THIS SATURDAY October 15th.
By CBaron | austinmountainbiking.com
Hello all,
I’ve not seen much EB talk over here….I don’t know if its lack of interest or quiet stealth training?? But one think I DO KNOW FOR CERTAIN is that if you plan to ride the EB, then familiarity with Thumper can go a long LONG way! This coming Saturday is your big opportunity to get out here for an official EB Thumper Pre-Ride. If you should up and join in with us not only will you get to follow along the official Thumper EB route, but you can get some really good trail-info that will help you ‘know things’ come EB day.
Hope you see you there!

Day 18: Las Cruces, NM to West El Paso, TX
Wednesday October 12, 2022, 45 miles (72 km) – Total so far: 927 miles (1,492 km) Had a really nice evening with Daniel. He showed us around Las Cruces a bit and some of the parks where he likes to do his nature photography. We had a beer at a local brewery with our riding mate who was injured in California. Then Daniel took us out to dinner at a really nice restaurant. I don’t think we will have another meal that good during the trip.
We got up to about 50 degree weather this morning. Slept in a cabin last night so no packing of the tent this morning. There was a beautiful sunrise over the mountains in the distance. Only about 44 miles to West El Paso and mostly downhill so we planned on a pretty good day. We stopped in Mesilla at the Bean for second breakfast about 7 miles in and the coffee and breakfast burrito were wonderful.
Then we made our way down …
