Race time in the BIG O!

I here there's a football game this weekend. Well there's also a kickass bike race this weekend. So kickass in fact that you can do it by yourself or you can do it with a bunch of your good buddies. Race or Ride; Solo, Duo, 4/5 person team, or unlimited, you choose. So come on out and enjoy the day.

It's the end of the year folks and we worked up some last minute goodies for the first annual MetrO! Mountian Bike Challenge 12 Hours of Lake Manawa. TREK has stepped up on the sponsorship front and we're proud to announce not only $2000 in prizes but also that the first 100 people to register will recieve a TREK Northern LED headlight, a $27 value. That's over $50 worth of stuff for just a $20 entry fee!

For you football fans that are worried about the USC game, well, you can listen to it on the radio or...word on the street is one of the MWCC members is bringing a TV.

Some folks have been asking about camping, here's some info...

Camping: Camping is available within a mile of the start/finish area. The campground at Lake Manawa State Park provides space for 72 camping units. Of these, 37 campsites are equipped with electric hookups. Modern shower and rest room facilities are available at the campground, as is a trailer dump station. Advance campsite reservations can be made online through the park reservation system. Half of the campsites are still available on a first-come, first-serve basis. $16 for a site with electrical hook-up. $11 for a basic tent site.

And a little mappie map of the start/finsh layout

Way to get the prize pool hooked up too!

Does anyone need an extra team member to add a few laps to their count? I can only make the first part of the race.
