No, there will not be any classes for coed or ladies. If you like, we can keep track of the coed & ladies teams on the status board.

We will have a status board to keep track of how many laps everyone has completed.
Each team will have a column on the status board. When the rider completes a lap, the rider will be given a piece of paper with the time stamped on it. The rider is responsible for stapling the paper to the status board (we will have a stapler for everyone to use).

The Baker’s Dozen event needs volunteers.
We need people to help with registration, parking, time clock, status board, course marshal, volunteer food, tent setup, cleanup and more.
We need volunteers to work shifts from 7:30am until 11:30pm. The Baker’s Dozen was very successful last year because of all the volunteer help. Please help again this year by volunteering.
Contact Paul Farrow at pfarrow@sorbacsra or 706-860-0469 and let me know what times you can work.

So my ss g/f Kristen and I will be racing for the pint glasses, but I guess trying to knock of all guy teams (maybe more pint glasses next year?). We'll be coming up from Florida.
I was just curious about the course. The website doesn't give a distance or even a particularly good description. Any locals want to help out an out of towner? Also does the campground have any showers? We'd love to camp, but we'd also love to be clean after the race.
Thanks for any help, jimbo

Look back on page 1 at the Jan 22 post. That is a course discription.
The campground only has 9 sites, has showers (last year they only had cold water) and has SST.

No pre-registration? Hot damn, I might make it.
If I do all my laps during the day can I slide by without a light?

Woog, Yes. But I have a light you can borrow if you like. Thanks. But then the boogey man might get me. Also, my ex would be PO'd (and rightly so) that I didn't show up on Sunday morning to relieve her of her parental responsibilities....

SORBA-CSRA had a work party on Horn Creek today. All eleven (11) bridges now have hardware cloth. The damage caused by the 4-wheeler was also repaired.
The trail is in great condition.
