New Date! September 18th, 2010.

Greetings everyone,

We have secured a new date for the race. The 12 Hours of Blue Mound will be Saturday, September 18th. We were unable to use the WEMS scheduled rain date as the park is public hunting grounds and there is a gun deer hunt on that date.

Online registraion is active again up until Midnight Wednesday September 15th and mail-in registrations should be postmarked by Saturday September 11th.

Click the blue button above to register online.

Hope everyone can make it!

Thanks,
Nate and Kevin

Race Postponed!

Hey Racers,

Unfortunately, the 12 Hours of Blue Mound is postponed. We've been getting a steady heavy rain this morning and the forecast for tonight isn't any better. Combine that with already wet trails and we've got a slippery, dangerous race course. Stay tuned for a rescheduled date!

Thanks,
Nate and Kevin

Got Family?

Hey Racers,


Wondering what to do with your family while you're out suffering on the toughest race course in the Midwest? Bring them along of course! Starting at 1:30 PM, there is a free kids race! Be sure to bring their bikes too!

Blue Mound State Park also has a swimming pool including a zero depth pool for the really small kids and our race course passes right by the pool so you'll see them once every lap!

WI State Trail Passes Required

Just a reminder that you will need a Wisconsin State Trail Pass for the race. This is the same pass that is required to ride at Kettle Moraine (John Muir/Emma Carlin/Greenbush) or any of the state rail trails. The ranger at the park will be checking as you drive into the park, and our registration staff will also be checking for these. If you don't have one you can purchase a pass at the time of registration ($4 daily or $20 annual). Its a small price to pay for the awesome trails at Blue Mound.

Pre-registration Reminder!

Hey folks,

This is just a reminder that our on-line pre-registration ends on Wednesday August 11th at Midnight. For mail-in regsitration, it must be postmarked by this Saturday, August 7th. You still have a few more days to get signed up and save $5!

Of course, you can also register onsite the day of the race starting at 6:00 AM.

See you in about 1 week!

Race Times and other random stuff

The Wisconsin Singlespeed Championship will start at 10am. Race length will be approximately 16-24 miles, which should take about 2-3 hours.

WEMS classes will start at standard times...
12 Hour: 8am-8pm (~8 miles/lap)
6 Hour: 1pm-7pm (~8 miles/lap)
3 Hour: 3pm-6pm (~5 miles/lap)

We have custom awards again this year by local artist and carpenter Jason Williams. Come get one!

We still need lots of volunteers! If you are doing the 6-hour, 3-hour, or SS race you can also volunteer! We'll find an easy job for you that involves sitting in a chair. Let us know if you can lend a hand.

Reminder that Erik's Bike Shop will be on site with mechanical support and DEMO BIKES! Numbers are limited - first come, first serve on race day.

I'm gettin' excited... are you?

2010 Race Course

We received such positive comments on last year's course that we decided to keep it the same for this year. Please note that the Flint Rock Hiking Trail is closed to bikes except for race day. If you want to pre-ride the course please walk Flint Rock or ride Holy Schist. Start/Finish will be at the top of the mound.
