Just as I was about to walk out the door to ride yesterday afternoon it started to rain. I decided to drink a beer and wait to ride until this morning. And it's raining cats and dogs today.
So... my plan is to go out on foot this afternoon and flag the course, so you guys can ride it this weekend. Red and black checkered flagging. Hopefully it won't be muddy.
Sorry for the delays.
UPDATE: So I went to Turkey yesterday and marked the course. Almost all the ribbons are on your left. There were a couple places where I couldn't figure out a good place to mark a right-hand turn, so I put a ribbon on the right in your field of vision. But for the most part they're on your left. It starts in the shitty "parking lot" that our friends at Riverparks made and heads out south on the sandy singletrack toward 71st. It was pretty soft and muddy yesterday with a lot of puddles. And with the rain today, I'm sure it's going to be even muddier. But it's marked. Took me 2.5 hours on foot (running) to mark the trail and the insane humidity out there drenched me from head to toe. I'm not sure how long the course it, but I'd guess 7-8 miles. It's a FAST course on a bike though, so I hope you'll like it. Let me know if you have questions.

Thanks for the hard work and the update!
Now to call the bike shop and see if the bike is ready...
Any hints on what to expect at Keystone? I'm riding out there tomorrow for the first time ever. My trail map says there is a total of 8 miles of trail, with the longest uninterrupted official trail being only 5 miles. Any input on your blog would be great prep for the first Doubleshot!
