"THE RACE" October 29 in Morrison IL
Posted: Tue Sep 27, 2005 2:38 am
"THE RACE" - is part of my promoters OMA national series. He has held races in Ohio, Arkansas, WI, Millville MN. His website is unitedoffroadracing.com
Anyway this race is pretty cool as it is a 15-20 loop. Normally you race for an hour and a half and last year most riders did 2 laps in that hour and a half.
The course encompassses several different farms, so there are some nice long straight away's across corn and soybean fields. We will also cross a couple roads and go under a couple roads.
I didn't do this race last year but did it the prior year.
There shouldn't be any impossible spots or big hills (this is Illinois where most the land is land), but there will be some whoops, some woods, some water crossings, and depending on the weather some mud.
The course is nice with the long straight aways because they give you a chance to rest and just pin the throttle.
It would be great to get a bunch of guys from the site there and have a litte mini group ride/race.
I have talked to a couple people already and it sounds like 27 is going to be here and possibly bring some locals with him.
I'm trying to convince RX440 and his son XCDale to come also. RX440 and XCDale and myself race together at Foxvalley, near Ottawa, IL so I'll work on them next weekend.
Please ask any questions you may have.
