If you are serious about getting in the event magazine, this is your last handful of weeks to do so. It is looking hot and it just might burn  the 4018 hands it touches. (based on 2009 copies printed.)

Course Test

Rumor has the course being tough. Thats true. There is a walking section and tons of riding sections. The course is still top secret and we must ask you to let go and trust that we are doing the right thing. Tips for you would be, get real good, think about running suspension, get some gears and have fun getting ready for the World Champs.
