About the ride
A relaxed shakeout on the Friday of Mammoth Tuff weekend — spin the legs, preview a few sections of the start and finish, and meet the people you'll be riding near all weekend.
Why this one is easy on purpose
Mammoth Tuff weekend is a high-altitude UCI qualifier, and almost everybody who shows up on Friday is saving something for Saturday. So this is deliberately relaxed: 150 watts max, allegedly.
We spin out, look at some of the start and finish sections so they're not a surprise on race day, and come back. That's the whole plan.
