What do you want to know? I hear the course has improved from last years with less pedaling sections. It's a fun course and the only time to be able to ride the lift for biking there.

i'd definitely recommend going... probably only an hour from culpeper. and like mike said, it's the one time a year the lifts are open for bikes.
Right at 160 racers last year.....dhriderII said:

is massanutten open other times during the year to biking?
Actually they have a bunch of cross country courses on the back side of the mountain, but I think you are supposed to be a "guest". That said, the road to the top on that side is closed off, so you are either pedaling or pushing.
Yep. BUT.. you need to get a pass.mindlessfr said:
Stop by Shenandoah Bicycle in Harrisonburg for one. They are free.
They don't run the lift during the summer. If you want to ride the course, you can ride up the fireroad from the top of Lanier drive. It's tough and hot but do-able.
The western slopes have some fine singletrack, and the new trails we've built lately have jumps and berms on them. Fun stuff, but doesn't rate for a DH rig quite yet.
definitely go if you can. its all a good time. fun course--
anyone who rides with the bikestop look at this picture and tell me the rider hasnt barrowed the bike and gear from both eric and bob at the shop http://www.iplayoutside.com/images/view.php?IMG_TAG=Events/2004/05/6262/pic-0108.jpg
oh yeah is this race a best of 2 or just a one shot race?
uh...
you race once and if your time is faster than everyone in your class, you get 1st.

I raced at a madhra race at ETSU last year. The dh. the dh was single elimination. the dual was a qualifying run to seed you, then a race run.
I've never raced a DH race where you get the best out of 2 runs...
