Has anyone done… or have any intel on Vapor 125 in Colorado?
Never done the race but have ridden the course, what intel are you looking for? Canyon Creek hike-a-bike always sucks, and the punchy bits of Rainbow Trail hit different after 100 miles in the legs.
I heard about it on a podcast… I am no stranger to ultra mtb races… this one sounds like… at least the web site indicated it was one of the toughest of all. I will say starting in darkness sets a different element for the beginning of something on technical terrain. I was just wondering how challeging it is comepared to other of the big events.

Toughest is subjective be this one would certainly be hard!
Godspeed to those who take it on. Wear comfortable shoes and ones you dont mind tearing up. Have always wanted to tackle it as the riding out there off Monarch is some of the best.
