    Great fella's! Tell all your buddies, the weather's looking awsome!

    Remember Adventure riders go off earlier at 8am-ish

    No one will be allowed to leave after 10 am unless they donate large sums of cash to the landowner/club! LOL

    The later you start you run the risk of missing the dinner and raffle! So Giddy Up!

    Crap. Was hoping to catch this ride this year as it close enough to ride my bike to. Only upside is I'll be on my way to Jersey for trackdays.

    Hi all,

    I've been helping Ed with the course layout. Just wanted to let you know about the two hero sections.

    #1 is at mile 10.9, it is about 1 mile of very tight single track with a couple of little but tough rock gardens. It WILL make you sweat! Enduro guys will love it, we do put C enduro riders through it but there is a nice dirt road around it so... your choice.

    #2 is at mile 14.5, it's a very rocky uphill. Again we put C enduro riders up it but it can be tough. The go around still has an up hill in it but it is IMO much easier.

    The weather gods have been very nice to us this week with some much needed rain early in the week and sunshine Thursday thru Sunday. I don't think conditions could be any better:D
