The Burn 24 Hour Challenge, May 24-25

The Burn 24 Hour Challenge is back at Dark Mountain Trails in Wilkesboro, NC, this coming weekend - May 24 and 25. Eddie and Namrita O'Dea - Directors of The Burn - have been working with the BMCC to make this the best BURN so far. The trails have been upgraded, there are more alien abductions, a kids race has been added to Sunday. This race is an all around good family time.

After speaking with Namrita they ensure us you will have a kick ass time at this year's Burn and there are going to be REAL alien abductions this year. The O'Deas are always working to make this a race event you will not forget and their efforts are paying off with a record of more than 50 riders in the solo division.

Vassago cycles has 3 frames in the prize pile. There are two BanderSnatch frames in the Duo Team category and we have thrown in a JabberWocky for the free raffle. Be sure to register your name for that free raffle - they have a lot of prizes to hand out!

Online registration will be open until May 22nd (tomorrow) at 11:59 PM EST. This is the easiest option for everyone: sign up online, check in on Friday, race on Saturday. You can also register on site on Friday, May 23rd from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. A late fee of $20 will apply and t-shirts can not be guaranteed.

And due to the tragedy of the Ditch Witch while working on the trails, the BMCC will be taking donations at the race to get a new Ditch Witch and to keep fixing our trails. Please stop over there and help out where you can!
