So, we are not changing the course, but rather smoothing out the corners of Wynding woods to improve flow. I just rode it this morning with Avery and Otter, the official Grind Canines and they felt the course was on top condition.
Post cards are out and they are idential to the image on this web site. if you need some for you shop or want them to hand out at you local ride/race, email me andrew@andrew wellmanphotographer.com and tell me how many you want and were to send them too, we have plenty.
On a personal note i race the Pinnacle challenge two weeks ago, and accidentaly entered the elite, so was commited. I did not get my but kicked and had a blast. Fast, Fast, Fast !

Still plugging away at the nitty gritty regarding the race. Post Cards are going to print today and we will have them for the Pinnacle Challenge. The Pinnacle is an awsome course and very well run by PJ Lovely. If you have done it, you know how good it is, and if you have not raced it, you should. I think it is one of the best courses in New England, it hands out the punishment in even doses.

In the last week there were some blow downs we cleaned up on the course. When doing so we improved the banking on Boulderdash by cutting just a couple of trees. Also we cleaned up the exit route just after the rustic log bridge, it rides nice now. About 2/3rds out on the course, we are cutting out some of the hard breaking slow, flat, non tech switch backs on Wynding Woods. We felt that they were pointlless filler. To make up for it we added some more fast flow that races much better. Laslty we are working on passing areas and have made great improvements.

KONA bicycles has just donated water bottles for neutral support at the race feed station. Racers can take bottles of Heed energy electrolyte drink or water at the designated feed stations.
