Is it going to be like the 2013 race or is it going to be like the 2012 race? What I'm asking is what side of the road are you running it this year?

Both sides....
It will be all sand whoops, bring your kx 500!

:)

While the exact configuration isn't completed its close. We think we have put together a mixture of trail that shows off the best and worst of what we have to ride, and fits into the clubs goal of building a framework of recognized sustainable singletrack. Most of it is very easy, with a stretch of about 7 km that tends towards the technical (those that are familiar with the area will instantly recognize why the trail is there)

do you need a cmrc license to race this or is there a club class (cant justify paying for a membership for one race)

Spent the afternoon riding and raking the sand whoops on the new loop on the east side of the road. :lol: The new race loop has really shaped up and is awesome. :D I also think the new loop is rideable by everyone who has raced XC before, its mostly flowing singletrack with a few short technical sections and some quad trail connectors. Click it up a gear and you'll be feeling a whole lot more challenged. You won't remember the new loop because it was the hardest dirtier moose loop, you will remember it because its has such a variety of challenges you will want to ride it again just for fun.

Unfortunately, we don't offer a closed to club type class for the CMRC series. But you can't purchase an awesome rep or street cred like this anywhere for $45 :thumbsup:
