GPX File for 2010?
Hi guys, will you provide a GPX of the 2010 100-mile course prior to the race?
GPS File
That is our intention, hopefully as soon as the snow is gone.
Thanks,
Bob
Thanks Bob. That should
Thanks Bob. That should alleviate any issues with folks getting lost.
50 mile race on a hardtail?
New to this distance race, do people ride hardtails or should I start saving for a FS bike?
Hardtail
The race course is hardtail friendly so that will work out fine. The winner of the first and second year 100 mile race rode a hardtail.
Agreed. The 50 Mile course
Agreed. The 50 Mile course is very hardtail friendly, and so is about 80 miles of the 100 course. I rode a 120 mm travel 29er last year, and left the hardtail in the van. Should have gone the other way on that decision, but DID have a lot of fun on the downhills!
Race Date?

JERSEY
Hi Andrea, sorry about the delay. Blackbottom cycle wear was busy with Interbike when Gina talked to them last so nothing happened at that time. Gina is on them again so it shouldn't be to long.
Thanks,
Bob
