The Kenda Dark Mtn Cane Creek Cup race will be held on July 8th & 9th this year. Located in Wilkesboro, NC (www.bmcc.us). Downhill is on the 8th with cross country on the 9th. We've basically got eveything finalized...just adding one sponsor to the flier then we'll have it posted. We already have online registration available at http://www.active.com/event_detail.cfm?event_id=1333949.

Both the dh & xc course have had major improvements from last year so if you enjoyed the courses last year then your going to love them now...much improved flow!:love:

Here's some info about the race:
> $8000 in cash & prizes
> Pro/semi-pro Men payout both days - $400, $200, $100 (five rider minimum for payout) & medals
> Top three in all other classes receive prizes & medals
> The Fastest Overall Expert Men (all classes combined) each day gets a $100 bonus
> Two methods of registering, 1) online at $35 which includes Active's fee or 2) $45 the day of the race
> Will be using timing chips again this year for both days
> XC practice opens on Saturday after the dh races concludes (all other areas except for what's the dh course will be open all day)
> Downhill practice will be on Friday without a shuttle
> Saturday we will run 3 pickups as shuttles...no wacked out trailer again!

Sorry about raising the online registration fee this year however we lost a major cash sponsor so we had to offset...with that said we're targeting to breaking even on this event so to give as much back to the riders as possible.:D

Anyway hope you come on out and join us as we should have a killer time!:weee:

So is there going to be a map for Friday?
Anywhere to camp?
We'll get a map out shortly of the course. The xc will be the same as this years Burn 24 event & the dh course is the same except the course has been improved for more flow. Regarding camping you can contact the Ranger's for available sites (http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/wkscott/index.htm). Sorry no camping on the course as with the Burn event.

Later

last year we had enough time to get 3-4 runs in before the start time.

matt are ya'll doing the 2 run format agian this year?

JT
Practice Saturday morning will be for approximately 2 hours with the shuttle...that said you're welcome to come out prior to the shuttle & practice & the push back up isn't too bad.

Yeah we're doing the best of 2 runs.

matt is there going to be a late fee?
Yeap...$10, however online registration is open up until a couple of days before the event. The reason for the big swing in the late fee is that all the info has to be entered & stage in the timing system which takes a while so we thought the extra $10 would hopefully promote early registration.:)
