Hello,
The weather 50 degree's at start time 10am, getting up to 60 or so
Rain....well I am putting the race on, so some, we have a gym to stay dry if
necessary and Blodgett is at about 500 ft so it clears quicker
Make sure to park off of the white line and not in front of anyones
driveway...please. We have a very special relationship with the school and
the Landowners and please be early
No parking at the Church, next to the school
The course
Super fun!, a couple of 2-4 mile climbs broken up with fast DH singletrack
and some doubletrack....
12 miles for the Cat 3's and 24 for all others
Front tire....HMMMM not sure, I always go with a bit more bite up front in
most conditions, and the course has good traction in most areas and
then....wo.....that was slick
Some roots, G-out water drainage ditches, gravel embedded singletrack, ups
and downs to tell stories for the season. One trail, upper shortcut .25 mile
of hike a bike, unless you are super strong
We will stage you by category, posted the am of the race
