18 Hours - Scouts Honor

There will be some new trail sections and course changes so be sure to check out the ride on the 17th! We'll be looking to make the course just a little bit more spectator friendly and easier for the riders to access their pits if they are in the cabins, yurtz or just further south in the camp.
RD Billy Moffett is putting the plan together and working with trail meister, Cycles Ed, to come up with the new course!
See you on the trails,

Swannee

(A message from Cycles Ed: ride at the Scout Camp)

Hello all riders.

 

Finally, what you've been asking for - A ride at the Camp! 

First ride will be Sat the 17th.  Meet at camp around 5:30pm, NO earlier please.  Riders should sign in, you know the routine -  ride till 9 - 9:30.  Bring Friends, Bring water.  Bring lights if you plan on entering the course after 7:30. 

Course will be marked at questionable turns ONLY,  it's suggested that if you have any question concerning the course, ride with others that know the trail 

 

Two new sections are open, one of which was only recently completed and never ridden - so, you can be the first kid on the course to do so. 

 

Hope to see many of you then -

 

Ed

June Updates

 

Hey folks, just wanted to give you an update for the 2010 version of the 18 Hours Scouts Honor on August 21-22, 2010.  Here it is….

 

Forget about those pros… who’s down for a solo race?  If you could win $500.00 for being the solo winner, would you race?

 

**ANNOUNCING**

 

SYCOM/ Cycles Ed / Richmond ASR

SOLO CASH PAYOUT!!

 

We deleted the pro category and the huge cash prize and added it to the amateur cash payout. 

The 18 Hour has never seen a cash payout like this before!!!

Believe me… you want to be on the podium.

Come on you Richmond locals… get on that bike and start training!

Howdy riders.

 

Scout Camp ride is ON for Wed the 28th.

 

 

One new section of trail is open - it will be marked!  One new TTF is open - it will also be marked.  The rest of the trails are NOT Marked!  Please plan on riding with a buddy.

 

Meet time no earlier than 5pm and ride till dark.  This is not considered a night ride!!!  Plan on leaving by dark.  Thank you!

 

As in the past everyone must sign in, and record your license plate #.   Sing-in log book is on one of the tables at the Cub Scout welcome center. 

 

If I need to cancel the ride due to weather or other unforeseen issues I'll send notice via email.

 

NOTE:  I'll be out there most of that day (Wed) prior to the ride working on the trails - I'd really like some help if any of you can join me - !

 

Also: if someone is planing on coming out via Ashland and could transport Jodi to the camp that would be awesome.  We're down to only one vehicle. I'll have her bike and gear, she'll only need transport to camp.

 

 

Thanks,

Ed

REMEMBER - last year we paid out $3300 in prize purse...and, NO - this was not to pro's - this was to you, the age grouper.
Do the research - how many other races pay this much, this deep!
Toe the line, ride the course - pick up your check while you're eating breakfast!

See you on the trails!

Hey folks,
Last weekend we were out at the scout camp prepping course for the 2010 version of the 18 Hour. Let me tell you... Ed and Jody have outdone themselves to bring you the sweetest single track in the mid atlantic area.  This years course is going to be approximately 11 miles in length and you just can't find singletrack like this anywhere else!

Ed, Jody and many others (you know who you are) have been doing great trail work at the camp for a number of years now.  We have created a trail fund during the registration process to help raise funds for these trail and keep them open and accessible for years to come! 100% of the trail fund will be used toward the trails.  Help us raise money and come race day, you will be glad you did!
