Every paid entrant will leave with an armload of schwag after registering: Each entrant will receive a 2008 Psycowpath t-shirt, water bottles courtesy of The Bike Way and Cleveland Bike and Sport, and an entry into the drawing for a 2008 KHS Solo One 29r. KHS Bicycles and Cleveland Bike and Sport will be giving the bike away to the entrant drawn at random during the Sport/Expert award ceremony. You must be present to win. Gifts and free stuff are fine but what about the racing? The Maskenthine course surprised racers in 2007 with its rolling hills, tight singletrack, and open spaces tailor made for fast head-to-head race action. With a more defined race course, and without the oppressive heat of 2007, the conditions should be perfect for the first-time racer and the seasoned expert alike. The Psycowpath committee as put together a new entry fee and prize structure for 2008 designed to encourage participation in all classes. For details see the Psycowpath Race Series Bible. The biggest change for 2008 is reduced entry fees for both Sport and Beginner classes. Also changed are awards for 2008: the top Beginner class finishers receive medals, Sport class podium spots score gift certificates (From The Bike Way and Cleveland Bike and Sport at Maskenthine), and Expert class winners walk away with cash prizes. The Maskenthine course is located 10 miles east of Norfolk, just off of the construction-free Highway 275. Check out the Norfolk/Madison County Convention and Visitor’s Bureau website for accommodations and entertainment opportunities. Enjoy a post-race brew and burger at the Wolf’s Den. Come see why everyone says Norfolk is the place to be for racing in 2008! |

Featured Stories
Kent McNeill along with a few others have been busy the last month and a half. France last month and Leadville 100 this month. Kent was kind enough to regale us with his account of their adventures.
2008 E’tape Du Tour
This year was supposed to be easier. I suppose in terms of mileage and total elevation gain, it was. Our route from Pau over the Tourmalet and then to the top of Hautacam was 108 miles with 11,600 feet of climbing. The past couple of years our routes have been from 125-150 miles with 13,000 to 14,000 feet of climbing and we have ridden in extreme heat conditions. This swung us to the other end of the spectrum. Hypothermia!

"The Race Across The Sky" Leadville Trail 100
"Your from Nebraska?" the gal at medical check in asked. "Yes" Steve replied. "So you’re taking the high altitude medication Diamox then?" she asked. "No" Steve replied, having never heard of it. "Oh Boy!" she said with a tone of amazement and worry. "Good Luck!"
