Watch The Weather - in case of heavy rain race cancelled

This is a fast, essentially flat terrain course that is not especially tough or difficult, but does have some tight technical turns, sweet stretches, and fun challenging spots.  This will be a lap race.  One lap = appx 5.75 mi.  The course is a long-standing well used trail system with natural compacted dirt/sand/gravel surface combination, a combination of tree-lined, narrow and twisting single-track, and open, wider double-track trail.  The course is located on LaFramboise Island Nature Area, at the end of a causeway separating the island from the City of Pierre.  It is a natural Missouri River island, owned and managed by the SD Division of Parks & Recreation as a Nature Area.  The island and its course are open year-round and require no park entrance license.  It's also a great venue for nature viewing, bird watching and easy recreational riding.
