With all the new single track out at Lost Valley does anyone know if they will be changing the race course this year?

I think the game plan in March was to use the new ST that was open and ready for tires, Since then the next phase has been opened up behind the Beaver Pond, I haven't talked to the Momentum guys but would assume they will want to use as much sweet ST as possible.  AS you are aware, the ST sections basically replaced the service road portion, Should be a fun race as allways,

If you get out to Lost Valley you will notice that we opened a short re-route in phase 1.  Near the end of the race loop you cross the waterfall, complete the climb after and then hopefully transition right into the re-route just about when your flow used to get cut off by the heavily eroded right turn.  It will be soft for a while, but I don't think it will take long for it to pack in.  While this section really wasn't bad to ride, it was taking heavy abuse from braking forces and Mother Nature.  We've placed logs to keep riders on a desired line, please give it a few weeks to establish and we'll make adjustments if needed.
