a Couple of new races have shown up on the root 66 schedule.

a Holiday Farm Endurance race in August Hmmm I wonder how much endurance is going to be needed.

and an XC race at Pats Peak , the same day as the 24 Hr race is ending. something seams very strange about that last part.

when it says closed at bikereg.com does it mean it is full?

normally the 'closed' means no more online registrations.

the only (mtn bike) race in the northeast I have ever heard of being full is the VT50


ps: compare it to this road race which has certain catagoroes closed

attended the Root 66 Fat Tire race at Winding Trails yesterday. It was well organized and a well marked course. Very fast though. A lot of road and cross racers in there too. There were 20 sport women racers and over 20 in the expert/pro categories. WoW! Looks more people are coming back to mountainbiking. I hope to see this many people at the Campmor.com H2H race at Waywayanda SP in NJ! But its more techy of a course,....probably not too many adventurous roadies.

yup, winding trails is definitely a roadie course but I see some dudes threw down some fast times inthe SS catagory.

Yeah, crazy fast. Sport laps were taking 21min (I think it was a 4.5mi lap). I was up at the front and it hurt real bad. I agree about the well marked part except for the finish, which I rode right by in my oxygen deprived half-blindness.

I totally dug the windy rhythm sections in the woods and the downhill right before the finish though
