I might do it and bring my A-game drinking skills.

Bring it and your camera! Both will prove to be beneficial.

This is a great course don't let the race times fool you this course will kick your butt. Also some of the best single track you will find anywhere and a great scene after the race. If I had two extra hands I would give it 4 thumbs up.

Some friends have been doing this race for a couple years and they talked me into it last year. I had never done a mountain bike race and was not sure what to expect. I had the best time and signed up as soon as I could for this year . All the volunteers and organizers were great, the vibe surrounding the whole weekend is mellow and just a great time. Can't say enough good things about the trails they ride.

Anyone thinking about hitting it up should just sign up and be ready to have a great time.
