The State of Minnesota came through for us in a huge way and the Giant’s Ridge race will go on as planned.

Here’s the low-down:

The Lodge at Giant’s Ridge is offering Racers 30% off of accomodations and if you book 2 nights they will throw in a 3rd night for free. Just let them know that you are racing when you call to book.

Riding will be available on Friday, as the trails are open to the public. We will be doing a bunch of course prep this day and any extra help will be much appreciated.

Registration and preriding will begin at 9:00am Saturday and the Race will start at 12:00pm.

A bunch of us will probably stay over after the race and ride on Sunday although I’m not sure what the shuttle status will be since it’s not officially part of our event. I’ll post up if we find out that the Lodge will be providing a shuttle.

Below is a video preview of the course in case you are wondering what to expect. I hate to recycle old content but Buck knocked it out of the park with this edit, so it’s all good.
