Hey all, it's the season of the endurance mountain bike ride and race.

Check out the details of the newest endurance race in Florida, the Alafia Classic at, you guessed it, Alafia River State Park on April 2nd. Similar to the El Legarto race, there will be two courses, a Beginner and an Advanced. The beginner course will include River Loop, Rock Garden and Sand Pine, about nine miles which should take beginner racers about an hour to finish a lap. The advanced course will include North Creek, River Loop, Rock Garden and Rollercoaster, about ten miles which should take racers about an hour to finish. No hard options will be included in either loop.

Race solo for six hours or team up with two of your friends for a 6-hour relay. Solo classes include Beginner Men and Women for the Easy course; Advanced Men, Beginner Men and Women for the Advanced loop. Team classes included Mens, Womens and Coed for the Easy Loop; Beginner Men, Beginner Coed and Advanced for the Advanced Loop. No Sport or Expert racers on Beginner teams.

This race is hosted by the Friends of Alafia, a non-profit group which, among other very important things, raises money to help the park deal with funding cutbacks. $15 of your $35 entry fee will go to the Friends general account which will be used for such things as repairing park equipment which is used to maintain trails. A portion of the leftover will pay for the race (prizes, portolets, number plates) and the remainder will go to the SWAMP club coffers, which is used entirely for trail building and maintenance. Giant Bicycles and AJ's Bikes and Boards have donated a 2011 Talon 2 29er that will be raffled off! Tickets will be $1 each, for sale at the event, must be present to win, winner announced during podium announcements.

Get more info and sign up here http://sites.google.com/site/friendsofalafia/alafia-classic-1 We'll need a few people to help with registration, scoring and trail scouts, so email me at julianne@swampclub.org if you're interested in that.

Thanks!
