Trail Work and Group Ride

Okay everyone, I've got some updates for you. First and foremost, the lap is just a bit over 4 miles. Beginners will do 2 laps, Sport/SS 3 laps, and Experts 4 laps. Lap times will be around 25 minutes for experts, 30 minutes for sport and 35 for beginners.

Now free up your calendar for next weekend (Oct 2-3). On Saturday the 2nd we will be meeting at the trails from 8-12 to do some final trail work (look below for driving directions). Pack a lunch and your bike, after refueling we'll ride a lap or two. Then at 2pm on Sunday the 3rd we'll meet out there for a group ride. This would be a good opportunity for anyone in the area to come out and preview the race course. Keep in mind that the trail is always open, but will not be marked for the race until a day or two prior. Hope to see you out there!
