here is a link so you can register online. the way steve sets up the race your start place is determined by the spot you register in.

its a fantastic race on a kick ass course. if you haven't done it yet check it out. he had a SS class last year for the first time. i'd do it this year but i broke my frame.

the course is only ridden once a year as its on private land so it tends to be in very good shape. he even has a cosutme class because its so close to halloween.

hrm... been wanting to hit this race for a while, but i have tentative plans to be in philly for halloween weekend. hrm.

Whoa....nice.....is this a semi DH course or is it strickly XC with a lot of up hill pedaling involved? Any jumps on this course in past years? Ive never heard of this race but it sounds like a blast. Hopefully I can get there. If anyone could answer my questions that would be great too.

 

[ridetoofast]

its an xc course but it was built/cut on an old moto enduro style track so there are some sweet, albeit short, dh type sections. the start finish is on a section of the course that loops back and forth on itself so it is very spectater friendly and there are some kick ass jumps on it.

I am going to race single speed and will be on a chocolate pudding colored soul cycles, Tammy is going to do the 6 hour enduro, Just Loft it is going to do vet sport and the other two have not decided yet.
I will probably be taking pictures when I am not racing but the bike should stand out! :devil:

Hey Ridetoofast! Good to finally meet you! Please tell me I'm not the only person who thinks that is one brutal singlespeed course (especially for 6 hours)!

My hair and eyelids even hurt today!!!
