Everyone else, I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is, the bike course is a two-lap and each lap is a little over 5 miles, so it's a little long. The good news is, it's a pretty easy course and will be super fast.
Like I said, the construction has really limited our options, but I've done my best. I'm expecting it to be fun, fast, and competitive. It's supposed to rain cats and dogs today, but I'm going to go out and mark the bike course tomorrow. Red and black checkered flagging.
This Sunday there is an adventure race at Turkey that starts at 8a. The RD says the winners should come in around 11 or 1130a, so I guess people will probably be on the trails racing until 1p or so? I don't know. But if you plan on going out there Sunday, please try to stay out of their way.
Remember, both the run and the bike will go along Elwood and up the hill. The bike will break off to the west side at that point and the run will drop back into the woods to the east. The run course will not be marked until race day. But don't worry, it will be well marked.
I hope a lot of you are planning to come out. Big prize money: $400, $300, $200 top 3 male AND female winners.

I am really excited about the race, though I honestly haven't been training at all. The fact that you described it as 2 fast laps on the bike really gets me pumped. I don't mind the longer distance as long as it's a little faster...
...of course fast for Turkey Mountain is a relative term...
And don't worry about the transition spot - your witty comments at the mic and the free food and drinks make it all worth it!
Clearly, Jimmy, the beer and hotdogs have gotten to your head. But thanks.
I'm pretty sure this is going to be the fastest mountain bike race track ever assembled at Turkey Mountain.
