CORRECTION FOR INTERMEDIATE RIDERS!!!
The intermediate class will ride the by-pass as the time differance between the by-pass and the gully are to difficult to determine. This decision was made after concerns were made by course officals. Next year we will try to incorperate a broader range of race classes, if you have suggestions regaeding classes please message them to me.
Thanks,
Chance
After discussion with other race event orginizers it was decided that this year the race will be through the gully for the advanced group, riders choice for the intermediate and by-pass for the youth.
Hope that helps. If you have any other questions or suggestions please feel free to let me know.
Chance
Is the race going to take place in the gully or the new re-route??
