It was very spotty and pretty light. I came through a shower from Sterling Heights. It was dry before I hit the county border.

Summer-time dry just about everywhere out there. The 6 hour / 12 hour endurance race course has been marked. If you've never ridden it, go give it a try. It's a 11.2 mile loop of just about every trail there.
The race is from 8AM till 8PM Saturday.
Enjoy,
Pete.

Very likely. I doubt they could make it much more evil. :twisted:

Running down to the Golf Course Road then staring the climb to The Snake that way would do it.

Same course as last year.
The first year of this race we DID go down to the Golf course driveway then all the way back up.
We decided to give everybody a break after that and make it "easy" the following years. :wink:

Actually it was the second year the climb was extended. Rumor is there was a complaint that ONE climb in the park was missed the first race
;-)

FYI - rode thursday, started while it was still drizzlin
trail is loose and dry like mid July
big tires and very little air pressure will work best
good luck to all the 6/12ers, ride fast and take chances

it's just about perfect out there right now, not to mention yesterday's racers put down the perfect groove...
Enjoy.
