First Race of the series is the Mudslinger and being that it is 26 years
the course is new or tweaked a bit for 2014. The big news is the course
only heads up to the clearing and collarbone alley 1 time and has 400 ft
less climbing! Some could say that I am getting soft or others may say that
finishing 10-15 minutes faster may be just the ticket. Also I eliminated
the Stairstep Climb so you can roll down by the river and keep youre pace
high in the 20 mile course with 3300 ft of climbing. 20 miles or 11 to
choose from and food provided and swag bag with Purist water bottle for the
first 300. The XC Race is Sunday 4/6 with the HC and SD and the day prior
as a stand alone event of part of the Mudslinger Stage Race.The First day
last year in 2013 had over 70 participate and has a bit more challenging
Super D course and the same 2 mile uphill grind prior to.

times to get the series started with a bang!
