It's getting to be that time of year again. The biggest race of the year. The fabled Goodhue County SingleSpeed Championship (or GCSSC for those who like appreviations).
Details:
When - November 8th , starting at roughly 10:00 or so. Should have a chance to warm up a little but those SPHers from more out of town can be on the road earlier (Marcus and Matt, we're looking at you).
What - Part Gravel, Part Singletrack, all stew powered! We are starting at the standard Langsdorf location as per the last couple of years. After the initial awkward run-up we hit the gravel of Goodhue County. Lehrbach, Orchard, Flueger, and then back to Lehrbach (unless we decide to go backwards). Some real climbs in there to get the legs loosened up. Then we move on to the bluff and it's singletrack. New this year is the extended climb up from the driving range. You MUST stay to the left when the climb Ys (to take the long way around). This will go all the way up to the 5 way. Do the switchback climb up the first part of the 5 way climb, and then stay on "Blue" trails on the south side. Once you hit "Meadow 1" (the start finish for the MNMTB race) you will then do all black on the north side. Nothing too crazy, and you can pick to do the log drop or not. Then at the 5 way, bomb back down. You CAN take the first left (short cut) heading down. Watch for walkers!
Rules: Must be completed/competed on a singlespeed or you have to vouch that you never shifted.
Oh... and we'll have some stew and hanging out afterwards. Not great timing for those with kids that nap, but oh well.
