  1. Chris, I can't get to your email, when are you coming through Tomahawk on Saturday and which route are you taking. I'll meet you at the coffee shop downtown if you were interested.

  8. The Single Speed State Championship race will be 2 laps of between 14 and 15 miles each. These miles are tougher than other miles - trust me. 2 laps is enough, especially if the temperature is over 80 again. Two was enough for some WORS elite riders in the 6 hour race last year, and Jesse Lalonde was in on the decision. If you want more, you could always do the 10 hour race in the single speed class.

  9. Both courses are getting a little trim this year. The routes are the same as last year minus trails L and LL, though there have been some fun updates to both.
    10 solo, 10 duo, 6 solo, and single speed (10 and 2 lap state championship) will do the long course which will be about 14 miles.
    10 team, 6 duo, 3 solo, and junior will do the short course which will be about 7 miles.

  10. Two laps is fine with me, the 6+ hours of last years SS champs were good for the first 45 miles then it just got downright tough. Thanks for the details!
