I am in frederick, md for a few days so I'm rolling up saturday morning. Anyone else doing thw mass finally?
Cool, maybe I'll see you there. I am heading out right after the cat 1 race sat morning however.Yes, camping there all weekend. In for all the fun, except CX relay on Sunday.
Will do. Look for my top fuel ssLook for 2 tents like this. All NJ dudes in this pic, and a few more, will probably be under it, doing exactly what you see here. Or encouraging and heckling the Cat1 class.

Course is a blast. Looks like the course is approx 1.5miles and 200ft less per lap for this year.The XC course last year was a blast... tons of variety. If this year is anything like last year - be ready for a longer XC race... 2+ hours.. Pacing Pacing Pacing is the name of the game

Plenty of climbing remain, and all the damn logs. Less race time means more time for race day and MASS season podiums. And the after party.
I'm giving 40+ a whirl. This shall suck.Was it the Pro's who were whining about last year's race being too long?
Don't get me wrong.. My legs locked up just after the two hour mark but I managed to finish still nab a podium spot ;-)
I think everyone from MASS reps, race promoters, and racers are pretty much glad to see the season finally over. But don't the pro's always find something to whine about? (totally kidding)Was it the Pro's who were whining about last year's race being too long?

Good luck, that class is stacked. Looking forward to the recap.I'm giving 40+ a whirl. This shall suck.
