FAQs:

• Do you have a GPS/GPX of the course? Because our trails are very close together, the file will look like spaghetti on your GPS device. Look for pre-ride announcements on our www.facebook.com or www.challengermtb.com page. The course is fully marked before Friday June 13th. If the weather is agreeable, it MAY be marked sooner, but it's 100% marked by Friday afternoon.

• Do you offer Guided Pre-Rides? Yes, we do. They are posted on our Bike Reg Page, and our Facebook Page. https://www.facebook.com/ChallengerMTB/ Pre-Rides will be broken down based upon CAT1, CAT2, CAT3, and E-Bike speeds. Meaning whichever CAT you will be racing, attend the matching pre ride. If you want to find out about the private pre-rides be sure to subscribe to our newsletter on our website.

• Can I pre-ride the day of the race? Yes, as long as you are OFF THE COURSE BY 8:15 AM SHARP.

• The course is different from previous years. Is there still room for passing? Yes. There are several wide passing zones spread out over the course. There are 3 new additional wide passing zones early in the race. We believe we have found a great balance between awesome single track, and wide passing areas.

• You've added an E-Bike class. When are they racing? Once the CAT 3 racer have finished for the day, then we will launch our separate E-Bike category. The approximate start time is 2:20 pm.

• What is an E-Bike? An E-Bike is a pedal assisted bicycle. Meaning it can not have a throttle and you must pedal to activate the assist. All E-Bikes must be a Class 1 bicycle.

• Can I race my E-Bike earlier in the day? NO. E-Bikes can only race in the E-Bike category starting around 2:20pm.

• Can I register on the day of the race? Yes, there will be an additional $10 charge (above the Bikereg.com fee) to register on the day of the race. All day-of registrations are CASH ONLY! There are 5 ATM machines within 1 mile of our venue. Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo, Paypal and checks are NOT CASH! Bring paper (dead Presidents) CASH if you will be registering the day of the race.
