Well! It sure looks like MUD will not have any impact on number reading by
officials or interfere with the chip equipment. Barlow is tough dry, wet,
chips or not.

> Battle at Barlow is held at Sam Barlow High School. This classic, popular
> former Cross Crusade course is best known for its challenging, railroad
> tie stepped run-up and long off- camber section. Two gradual climbs per
> lap will add to the burn, but overall the course could be described as
> euro-style: fast, with ample room to pass.
>
> The course will change slightly this year after the run-up due to major
> ruts which have been created over the past year, but the changes are not
> major. Part of the course will still have small remnants of shallower
> ruts, but we will do out best to flatten the course for Sunday. Other
> than that, the stairs on the run up are in good condition and the
> blackberry bushes have been trimmed back.
