The Woolastook 5 is about having 5 hours of fun, on your own terms. If you want to race for the win, or have a friendly rivalry, you'll find riders here to push you. But if you want to ride a few laps at your own pace and hang out between laps, you'll have plenty of company. Riding as a team is also a great way to go. Take turns riding hard and chilling out, and 5 hours will be over before you know it. Usually about half the riders compete as part of a team so don't be shy. Teams can be 2 or 3 riders.
The course suits a wide range of abilities. If you are have never done a mountain bike event before there are a couple of sections (uphill and down) that you may want to walk, but the course as a whole is fun singletrack and dual track, not extreme climbs or descents. A loop of the track generally takes 25 - 40 minutes, depending on ability and fitness.
Results will be posted, but categories are for recognition only. There will be draw prizes, but no category prizes. Start time is 10:00am, and everything will be wrapped up by about 4:30. Online registration is available now.
