This is going to be a mean one, Folks! This course will take you over dirt and paved "State Roads" around Monongalia County in Northern West Virginia. Finish times could be 6 plus hours for some riders. Road conditions may include missing bridges, car-sized potholes, gravel, mud, black top, cow paths, and maybe a piece of road kill or two. That's what we call good riding! Leave your expensive Flux-Capacitors and fancy wheels at home and maybe bring the cross bike. It might be the best tool for the job, but bring whatever you think is best for you. However, if you show up with Zipps on your road bike we may laugh and point at you. This race course has just about everything a cyclist says they want when they're talking it up with their buddies. Now let us see ya ride it! The course will have fully stocked aid stations along the way. Sag support will be provided.
Duo-Class scoring: Time based on the second finisher of the Duo Team. Team members MUST finish TOGETHER! Team MEMBERS FINISHING MORE THEN 1 minute apart WILL BE DISQUALIFIED!
All Aid Stations: Total of three, (around mile 15, 30, 42 and 61) will be stocked with the following items.
Water
Snack Cakes
Cookies
Bananas
M&Ms
Pretzels
