Added to watch list for Beginner category.

Be great to ride some of the loop at Cranks

I'm 99.99% certain some of this will be part of a Cranks loop.

Yeah - MTBNJ will be leading some official-like MIGERSSP loops on the Cranks weekend.

Awesome this is happening. @xc62701 Is it too late to add a 100 mile category?

100 is a possibility for 2022. The biggest issue is volunteers, staff and fighting daylight.

100 miles? That would be a really long day. For the racers AND us. Maybe you just do the first 50 scored and then do the honor system and we can mail you something when you complete the 100 😎

How about a 100 category with gps/garmin scoring for the last 50? What can I say? I’m desperate for a local 100 race 😀

I would love to see a local 100 miler as well but it won't be happening this year.

Fair enough, thanks again for putting on this race!

Yes, but wouldn't that be an unfair advantage?

A lot of people are going to love this course. It's not as physically hard as it could be, which is a good thing IMO. It doesn't have all of the popular DHs, but that's kind of impossible in a loop structure and it does have one of the best. What it does have is a ton of single track that's basically fit for any ability level, but still fun for all. Lots of speed and very few grindy spots.

 

[Superfly100guy]

Only 35 spots left to get in on the raffle for some great prizes. Might as well sign up if you plan on going and have a chance to win some awesome prizes.

Unfair disadvantage? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wait...what if the train comes

Wait...what if the train comes

As far as we have been led to believe, the trains do not run on Saturdays. Regardless, there will be a park police officer at the railroad crossing.
