BONEBENDER HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED!!!!

As the race weekend approaches we have received many questions about a rain plan for Bone Bender. Of course the safety of our racers and volunteers is our number one priority, and preserving the quality of the trails follows at a close second, so we have been following the weather conditions very closely and weighing our options. I am sure we all agree that while rescheduling a race is never ideal, sometimes it is necessary, especially when the safety of our racers and the quality of the trails is placed in jeopardy. With that in mind we also want to be considerate of the many people who have taken time off for this event, and are traveling from out of town in order to compete in this great event.

After looking at many options, we have decided to change the date and time of the race to Saturday, April 12 @ 1pm. This way we will be able to run the race course as mapped and take advantage of the better weather, as well as hopefully working with the travel plans of as many racers as possible. For those of whom this is not an option, we understand, and you can request a full refund until Friday, April 11th @ 10pm. Contact- wheelforceone@gmail.com to request a refund.


The details:
Race Day- Saturday, April 12
11:00am to 12:30pm- Race Day registration and packet pickup
12:45pm- Marathon Rider meeting

Bone Bender Updates - 4/2/14

Time is fast approaching for the 6th Annual Bone Bender Mountain Bike Challenge.  This years event is shaping up to be another great one.  We again have Hammer Nutrition as our official sponsor of this years aid stations. Look for Heed and Hammer Gels at our aid station out on course.  

Speaking of the course.  We have had a lot of requests for a course map.  We will post the official course map later this week.  I will say this about the course.  I personally love it and not just because I designed it.  It is a very fun and balanced course with a something for all skill levels.  The length is 12.5 miles and includes single track (lots of that super fun blue trail and plenty of white to keep us all honest) double track and hills - yes Bunker Hill is back.

A little over a week left to get registered.  There is still time to get an event t-shirt.  The first 125 riders are guaranteed a t-shirt. Register today - Bone Bender Registration.
