RACE DELAYED

We are cancelling the 70-mile event, as there will not be nearly enough time to complete the distance. If you are pre-registered for the 70-mile, you are welcome to race the 35-mile event at 1pm.

Quite a bit of rain fell this morning on the park, and the trails are very wet. They were dusty dry yesterday, so we are hopeful this rain will soak in and the trails will become rideable later today.

As of now...
1pm -- 35 mile start
3pm -- 15 mile start

If anything changes we will update this site by 11am. Sorry everybody.

Less than 2 weeks!

Hi all. Yep, we're still here...Kevin and I have been working on finalizing details of the "Inaugural" 2011 Blue Mound Enduro. It's not really our first race, but it's the first year of the distace format instead of the time format. I know the distances seem low compared to other races in the WEMS series...I can hear the skepticism already.

"Only 70 miles for an endurance race?" You can trust us when we say that race times will be in line with the other races in the series.

All of the race distances (70 mile, 35 mile, 15 mile and High School) will use the same course. That includes the steep climbs and fast descents of the Over Lode Trail as well as the relenetless technical sections of the Chert Dip, Serpentine Climb, and Basalt and Pepper Trails.

We've got some great sponsors on board for this year's race so check out their websites by click in the banners to the right.

Uphill Grind will be here with mechanical support, limited replacement parts avialable for purchase, and coffee!

Planet Bike will be providing swag for our raffle.

There may be a few surprises too!

Start time is 10:00 AM Saturday the 20th for the long event!

We hope to see lots of you there!
