This is a great event! I won't be able to make it this year but had a blast riding the 32 mile, point to point, mostly singletrack course last year. If you're looking for a new race to try, check it out. You won't be dissapointed.

Looks like they've even added a few more events for this year!

Hope all goes well with the race Lori. :)

I also had a blast last year and wish I could do it again this year instead of spending two solid days in a car en route to Canada -- ugh! Best of luck with the races, Lori. You put on a stellar event!

I had a blast last year and am really bummed I can't make it this year. The XC race is a ton of fun and for freeriders, the tech course is a total blast. They have some cool stuff up there, so if you can make this event.......it's worth the trip!!

Wow, it's Chain Drive Weekend already. Sorry you guys (Shad, Mara & Troy) won't be making it up this year. It was great having you join us last year. Yes...We've made a few changes for Sunday...Gravity added. The TTT event has morphed into a downhill and a technical dual slalom (with more great built stunts and jumps). Maybe next year? ;)

We do take registrations on site so if any Minnesota folk want to head up....

We've also added a 32 mile SS category for the diehards on saturday:)
