Looks amazing. Love the inclusion of Dr. Jekyll and My Favorite. It's a nice counterpoint to the rolling, technically easier race courses of Stewart, Kittatinny, and Lewis Morris. This one is going to be EPIC. I can't wait to race it...

OK, 2 weeks to practice.

Is Sport 2 loops or 3? I suppose I'll decide whether to upgrade after seeing if I can survive a loop without seriously wounding myself.

You'll be fine in sport. However it might be the time to try out a front tyre with a little more volume and bite. Tubeless might be a good idea there too; lots of snakes hidden in those rock gardens Wink

OK Al, you've convinced me. Might not get the Tubeless set up before the Chainstretcher (though Monday is a holiday), but I'm ordering the Stans kit. Razz

I'm thinking about heading up and riding the race route one day this weekend. Any takers?

I've got a maxxis ignitor courtesy of JB that you're welcome to - Becks will be delighted if I can reduce the number of tires in the flat Smile

Would love to hit the course this weekend but am in Toronto visiting family. Midweek mission?

I may not be able to ride Blue after all this weekend. Have a huge freelance project coming in that has to be done this weekend, and I can't pass it up. Looks like Sunday at Highbridge is all I can swing...

Important news regarding the race course- My Favorite Trail will be excluded from the race course for Beginners, and instead Beginners will head down Lower Stinger and meet back up with the race course.

Making a course change like this requires Marshalls on the course who can change the tape and help direct people. If anyone here in NYC has time on Sunday to help out the WMBA with the race, they need volunteers!
