Course Design in Progress for 8 Hours of Superior Singletrack
Thursday, May 22nd 2008 - The course design for the inaugural 8 Hours of
Superior Singletrack is now underway by the Algoma Trail Crew (a division of the
Sault Cycling Club). New singletrack
will be added to the already fanstastic Crystal Creek trail system solely for this
race. The exact route is still under wraps, but it will be approximately 9 - 11
km (5.5 - 6.5 miles) in length, featuring exciting, flowing singletrack and some
fast doubletrack sections. Join our Race Updates mailing list (on the right of this
page) to get more information about the course and the race.
