I thought about doing this for a 4th time, haven't decided. Apparently, it is 75% full so register soon!  Should be a little different* this year with the trail work they did on Kitsuma.

*it will probably still hurt as hell and make you cry the second time you climb it...

Definitely.  They were nice enough to post the course map, so we could technically go assault this beeotch on our own.

Expensive way to get the T-Shirt.  I figure the money goes to the local mtb club so hopefully put to good use.  Besides EMS will be there and there is a chance I might need them :)

looks like a cool and interesting race. $110 is a lot, though, plus trip expenses.

the roadie version looks interesting too. 102 miles of climbing from Spartanburg, NC to the top of Mount Mitchell.

Yeah I realized it was for profit after I posted that.  Oh well, I guess its good to keep those guys in business also.

Rob, you know any good places to stay in the area?
