LOHS Races 2010
I met with the school race coordinator today to lay out tentative race dates for 2010. Here are the dates as we have them planned for now. More information will be posted as we firm up the details but I expect the races will follow the same structure as last year. We have extended the school portion of the trail by about a mile since the race last October and we have two more sections of singletrack to complete next spring. Beginner racers will ride almost the entire loop due to the new course layout but we plan on having a much shorter loop designed for elementary students this year.

We also began to lay the groundwork for the formation a scholastic MTB league. Hopefully more news on that initiative later this spring.[/b]
I marked most of the normal LOHS course we use for racing with orange arrows on the ground at intersections. I did not mark the start finish areas or anything in Bald Mountain. The arrows should allow you to find all of the singletrack and ride it in the proper direction, which is normally clockwise. The easiest way to start is from the west side of the lower ball field as shown in the photo. Note that we have new trails now that bring you back out to the lower field but on the opposite side.
We have races scheduled for June 9th and 16th. If anyone wants a tour or wants to see how the course can be expanded from 6.5 to 11 miles shoot me a PM. I can ride most days after 4:00.
