done for 2009
Thanks Thanks Thanks
The event started a bit soggy and ended with very smooth riding trails. We had a heavy heavy down pour from 6 - 6:30 and that turned the dust on the top layer into grease on hard ground. Very glad to hear so many riders truly enjoying the WEMS experience. See in 2010 with a few improvements in the works already.

2009 John Muir June 13
Well its true. June 13th is now days away. We are looking forward to having great weather and great trails again with outstanding marking. Yes, we picked up another 60 post and 25 signs for marking.
There is some very sad news. After sending out more that 80 request for raffle awards we got 1 company that replied. So the 2009 John Muir will be raffleless.
After riding the new stuff the 12 and 6 hour course will be as follow. Blue to Orange split at the horseshoe between the bogs. Then ride the orange to the fire lane turn left back to blue and finish blue loop. about 10.5 miles. The 3 hour will take the first part of the Orange over the bridge the then do the same loop as the 12 hour for about a 9 mile course.
The course will be marked out by 5pm on friday June 12th.
All riders must have a trail pass and parking for this event . The DNR has made some good money over the years from those who have tried to skip the passes.
Registration open at 6:30 am Saturday and from 6:00 - 7:00 on Friday at the shelter.
Start times are as follows:
12 hour 8:00 am , riders meeting at 7:50
6 Hours 1:00 pm, riders meeting at 12:50
3 hour 3:00 pm, riders meeting at 2:50
kids event 2:00pm, parents welcome to ride with child if you have a trail pass.
Cash payouts to winners in each category, riders under 18 will receive a gift certificate..*
Again this year any riders 14 and under will ride for free with a paying adult.
We will have a free kids race at 2:00 pm, it will be 1 or 2 red loops depending on age and ability. Must have a helmet and no training wheels.
Make sure to bring food and water. There is a well, the water is safe but its shallow and is mineral tasting

Hey team, Marty Tank here. I just wanted to let you all know I am sell the frame from my race bike last year. It is a 19" Jamis Dragon. It is a hardtail made from 853 Reynolds steel. It has awesome geometry for XC racing. I built it up 2 years ago and have mainly used it for racing and little else. I'd like to sell it with a used Marzocchi MX Comp Air fork with ETA-100 mm Travel fork and used Hayes Hydraulic HFX-9 XC brakes (all in good working order). Looking for $500. Let me know if you have any questions. I can be contacted via email at martin.tank@gmail.com or phone at 414.698.1194.
