I spent the day out at Manion's finalizing the course. Notable changes:
/
But before that... I have to tell you something... Manion's- as you know- is a military auction house. As such, the good folks of Manion's have access to explosive devices that you and I do not. I'm not making any promises, but we could have some serious percussive power for our starting gun...

And now the changes:
/
1. Racers will still stage SANS BIKE in the barn and start by running east out of the barn. You can see that now there is a "S" curve to navigate instead of a straight stretch. This fixes a lot of conflicts we had with the LeMans start... and it's gonna be damn fun! After exiting the end of the "S", racers will grab their bike in the open area and proceed- with haste- onto course.
/
2. Notice the stretch after the final gravel crossing before heading back to the barn. We straightened this out in preparation for the finish. That's an uphill finish, friends. Prepare, commit, engage, and succeed.
/
3. Barriers are flopped to the backside of the course.

D. Not a change, but just a reminder- our DJ is The Best. He plays your favorite songs and the greatest music you've never heard but touches you deep inside. Our DJ likes to touch.

Remember to bring your canned food Cranksgiving donation (5 cans gets you a call-up) b/c you're going to want to have first choice of where to place your bike and you're going to want to be on that front line at the start.

And finally... Just to let y'all know, I was listening to alot of Ween when I designed the course.
