Sunday is the Curse.  It is supposed to be in the early 80s all day.  Bring lots of water because you will go through it.  The 40 milers start at 9:00, and the kids race just before.  The 10 and the 20 milers start at 10:00.  Registration will open at 7:30 on Sunday morning.  See you up there!!

Registration is still open on BikeReg.com until Friday at noon.

Just rode the 40 yesterday and what an awesome loop. There will be 3 water stops( 8.29, 19.99 and 31.16) with 2 fully stocked stations for the 40’s. Just to let you know, we are going to have a cut off at 31.16 and if you can’t haul your carcass there by a yet to be determined time you will take the road back to the finish. The 20’s will get 2 water stops(8.29 and 16.06) and the 10’s will have one at 8.29.

GPS cordinates for the Start location 39 59 12.41N  77 24 08.42W

Special note of thanks to the Roy Pitz Brewing Company for the delicious performance enhancing liquid refreshments that greeted the finishers and precipitated what is now the second appearance of Pedro the Drunk Finish Chute Guy “WHOOOOOO”.  Props to a hearty porter on a dreary day. Makes the world go round, it does….

Results are posted!

Well, that was…..(insert adjective here).  BIG ROUGHNECK RESPECT to the almost 250 hardcores who showed up, despite the nasty forecast, to brave the new and improved Maximus.  There were a number of other options out there for you to choose from, but why settle for JV when the first team call-up beckons, right?

More to come soon including, results, race reports, pics…..but first I’m going to run myself through the dryer one more time.

Thanks to everyone for coming out for a great, wet, muddy race.  We had a great turnout even though the weather was not on our side.  Thanks to our sponsors Trek Bikes, Ergon, Roaring Springs, Specialized, Gettysburg Bluegrass, Gettysburg Bicycle and Fitness, Cytosport, Hammer, and Park Tool.  The race could not have happened without all the volunteers too.  Results and pictures will be posted within the next few days.  Thanks to all and we will see you July 19th for the Curse of Dark Hollow!
