NOTOMATONO 2008

Benlomond Peak.

standing, Reedo, the soda brothers,  Preston and John "the schlong" Roylance. Sitting are Nate Woods and Jed(johns bro in law.) We had others comitted, and training but were not seeing results, so they dropped out.
The notomatono is a gruelling mtn bike ride that starts from top of the pass.  Just East of  N.O. town.  Take the northern skyline trail to Benlomond peak , then drops into Willard Basin.  From there you take the jeep trail to mantua. At this point you have traveled about 22 miles.  Then you drop on the paved road down to  Brigham and take the old fruit highway back south 20 miles to N.O. town  also know to yall as North Ogden.  Takes about 7 hours to do this 43 mile trek. To put it in comparison people riding the lotoja at the 7 hour mark would have covered between 120 to 150 miles to this point.  Everyone finished this year which is a first.
