Rattling MTB isn't part of the MASS series this year. Rain date for Fair Hill Spring XC is the same day. Promoter for Rattling can't move his date, so took it out of the series.

Uwharrie is in NC and not part of the PA MTB Series.

So bummed I won't make SSWC at P.J. It's my anniversary weekend and already booked it a year out.

Fixed.

Same here but the anniversary gets put on the back burner. It’s only the 13th for us. It’s bad luck anyway.

Just did this event back on November 16th. Came back in '25 after having an awesome time in '24. It's definitely a ride, and yes, some of the team groups hammer it. Saw a major crash on the road this year involving several members of a well known MASS team that had just pace lined by my group of 4. Luckily it was by an aid station and aid was quick to get there.

Speaking of aid stations, probably the best overall aid stations ever. Plenty of hydration, snacks, fruit, pickles, pierogis, bacon, grilled cheese, soup, etc. Then, as you cross the finish line, you're handed a container of french fries.

Wood recommend.
