Ski Southeast Messageboard

During ski season SKISC mentioned doing a Mtbike race sometime, something about a 12 or 24hr race. I said 12 or 24hrs??? do they have a 2hr or beer league race? So we compromised and did a 6hr race over the weekend in Ft. Yargo, GA. This was my first race, SKISC has done many. Course was 11.74 mile loop, we were able to get 4 laps in (2 each) with our time keeping us about 15 minutes under the 6hr limit. Average speed 9.3 mph, max 23. Elevation gain 1,545 ft. Fun course, really had a good time.



Not too many pics as we were riding.... might have some official action shots from site photag later on.

Great TR. I'm sure you had fun and hammes.



When I first saw this photo I was very confused since you are close to the same size and one of you had a very tall bike. Then I saw the stand, but I'm really going to blame it on my new glasses.

Definitely a fun day.

Very cool guys... were you doing the race for time, or just to finish?



I've got a friend who's always begging me to do 12-hr races out here, but when I go mtn biking I do it for the ride and enjoyment, not for the competition.

We were basically just doing it for fun. Wee had a goal of four laps and we got that and had fun doing it.

Some pics from the race....
