Blufflands Epic Enduro Race rescheduled for October 17

 

 

When 5 inches of rain falls in one night it makes it hard to Run a Race.

But WEMS and HPT have rescheduled and now the racing fun will take place on the 17th of October.   12 ,,6 ,, and 3 hour races tons of give a ways and fun to be had.

 

 

 

           4X4

So all of you using the Chequamegon in preparation for the 4x4 here it comes!

When: October third at 4:30 Sharp! We will not wait. Sorry.
(I've checked my astrological chart together to find that we will have a full moon.)

Where: HPT Parking lot

What: Ride your Four (4) laps in 4 (Four) hours. 2 (two) by daylight, two (2) by your own light. Although you could ride by the full moon if you so choose.

Why: Because you can and it is fun.

Who: Anyone that wants to go out and try it. There is nothing organized. Just a ride in the woods. This is a ride on your own or with anyone you can stick with. You can even come out to watch but you have to cover yourself with glow sticks and stand in the woods.

The Lap: Approx. 7 miles. Standard HPT TT lap. If there is a standard.

So cycle your batteries and rest up after the Chequamegon because there is more riding to be done.

 

Disclaimer: No one is responsible for this ride. No entries, no support, nothing! This is a ride at your own pace and own risk at HPT. If another bear makes it's way into HPT please do not scare it up a tree or call the local police. Just ride faster and hope you aren't the slowest rider...
