Hey Guys

Updated course maps are up and I did the new distance (26) in 2:51 so its
fast! The long loop is 60 or maybe a hair under with either 4900 ft or
close to 11,000 for the trip
Course maps

Winning times estimate

16 miler 1:15
26 miler 2 hrs and 15 minutes
60 miler 5 hrs

Register online until Friday at noon and or the day of by 8:00 am for the
long loop or 10:30 am for the 26 or 16 mile loop.

Both the long 60 mile course and 26 mile course and 16 count for the
series. Of course less people may be in the longer course so pick your
distance and saddle up!

New Trails
So many trail segments and a new trail called Relentless to make its grand
opening with a 600 ft climb in just over 1 mile! This trail eliminates the
bumpy road after trail of ferns and replaces it with a much smoother climb,
but steep!

New for this year also is a 16 mile version for the Novice (Cat 3) crowd to
not overcook your legs if you are doing Picketts or the 6 Hrs of Mt Hood on
Sunday! Heck the 26 is reasonable to go full out and finish with winning
times expected in 2 hrs and 15 minutes!

We will be having burritos and prizes include a Jamis Dragon One frame,
Garmin 510, Ergon Seats and Orange Seal Cycling products along with Custom
medals 3 deep.

Also you can use the Church parking or park where indicated please.

SPECIAL NOTICE

I am 75% sure that this will be the last Test of Endurance mountain bike
event do to a busy personal schedule with my family and other events in or
around this time frame that I produce and or overlap. I could and if I do
the event again in 2015 it will be the 3rd Sunday of June after my Mary's
Peak 50K trail run, but without the Climb up Mary's Peak do to having a
limit of 1 event on the Peak per weekend and the potential of wet
conditions that would not allow me anyway to do this.

My goal from the start was to provide a drier time to ride these trails
other than the Mudslinger and I thank you for all the time spent to come to
this area to ride. My other commitment is to our local IMBA Chapter Team
Dirt to improve this and other riding areas in Benton County are critical
to the success of the area and future of mountain biking and who knows if
this event will pop up in another format or continue. All I do know that
this year is the best TOE course to date and after 10 years I hope you can
make it for a trip down memory lane or give it a shot for the first time!

Hope to see ya soon

Mike and Family
