Here's what riders had to say in the past:
"...[racing] gives me a reason to go see a new place, ride a new trail and meet new people. I think the best part of it all is when I can come to an event such as yours at such a beautiful venue as Croft Park, pay my money, race my bike, and all for a good cause! Just wish you had a fall race also. "
~Guy Spiher
"Hi, I just wanted to thank you for putting on a great race!! The course was awesome! (a little wet) but I had a wonderful time! It was my first time to your race and I hope to be back next year!!"
~T.J. Behm, N. Augusta, SC
"Thanks for putting on such an awesome event, despite the rain. Mountain bikers play in the dirt anyway...! I will always support your race rain or shine... and I had a blast getting muddy!!!"
~Becky Smith, Charlotte, NC
"Hi, Just wanted to say thanks for a great race last weekend, even though the weather was far from cooperative!! (I think I'm still getting mud out of the eyes!) But also thanks for the prize money for the pro women. We didn't have a lot of starters but you rewarded us anyway. It is much appreciated. See you next year."
~Karen Masson, Atlanta, GA
"Hi, I wanted to thank you for the great race the Rotary club put on this weekend. It's a shame that it rained so much. The course looked like it would have been fast and fun had it been drier. Even so, the race was well organized and well run. The results were put up in a timely manner (A big deal to us mountain bikers!) Thanks again, I hope to be back next year and will bring more of my team with me."
~Trish Albert, Smyrna, GA

An approximate 9-mile loop, mostly single track traversing the rolling Piedmont landscape. Portions of the course are a roller coaster ride of straight ups and downs with the middle section featuring fast, flat, curvy terrain with occasional sand trap areas. Several creek crossings and small bridges along with numerous short technical climbs followed by fast downhill sections make this a challenging course.
As in years past, the exact course will not be disclosed until Saturday, practice day so as not to give local riders an advantage.
See you on race day!
