5/7/10 Update - Something came up with the Iron Hill Race venue and we have moved the date from May 23rd to Sunday June 6th. This opens up the schedule a little and gives everyone a break after 3 weeks of races.

Series Scoring - working on that now. We had hoped to start posting series results this week but there are a lot of racers that have entered different or misspelled last names or wrong DOB's when preregistering and they do not match what was entered for series registration.  So that has to be fixed first. 

We cannot score you properly if you do not enter your name and DOB the same as you did when you registered for the series.  See the below instruction for setting up a BikeReg profile.  That ensures your information is correct.  We will attempt to fix all wrong entries now but after French Creek if you enter your name or DOB wrong we will not fix it.  You as MASS racers must bear the burden of entering your information correctly.

If you are a series racer and forgot your plate at any of the last few races and had to race with a day-of plate you need to e-mail us at support@... to let us know your series plate and what race you did not have it for.  Bottom line is don't forget your plate - put it with your helmet or shoes or something very important like your bike.

3/28/10 - Using BikeReg - just want to post a reminder on how to use BikeReg.  Make sure you setup a racer profile and use that profile to register for all the races and the MASS registration.  This helps us track your series standings properly because it ensures that your first and last name are always entered the same.  It also assigns you a racer id when you create your profile and we use that racer id for tracking series racers as well.  If you sign-up for the series and races without a profile and/or using different names we will have errors and duplicates in the standings and you will have to let us know so we can correct it.  CREATE AND USE YOUR BIKEREG PROFILE PLEASE

Rise and shine MASS racers and get over to BikeReg. 

 

Cascade Classic pre-reg closes Thursday at 10PM. Make the trip and check out this new addition to the MASS. We have worked hard to get this race into the MASS because we have heard from racers what a great addition it would be. Come out and try a new course and support a new MASS race promoter. There is free camping Friday night and there are hotels in nearby Williamsport. If you have not been up in the Williamsport area is very scenic and worth the drive. Attendance will probably be less that some of our bigger races so it is a great opportunity to get points. Don't forget your series plate.

Series Scoring - Got all team roster assignments done and we are importing race data in now. We are doing some testing and will let everyone know when we are ready for review. Please don't e-mail us about series results yet. We have not made any corrections for those that forgot a plate at a race. We will do that after we get all races in the system.

Send Email Send Email
 

 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAY 12, 2010

AMERICA'S BEST TO TAKE ON THE TRANS-SYLVANIA EPIC, AMERICA'S LONGEST
MOUNTAIN BIKE STAGE RACE


STATE COLLEGE - The Trans-Sylvania Epic, the longest mountain bike stage race experience in the USA offering seven days in the mountain bike paradise that is the Alleghenies region of Pennsylvania, is attracting the most competitive field of endurance racers to yet assemble for an MTB stage race in North America.

Mountain bike luminaries such as Cannondale Factory Racing's Jeremiah Bishop and WTB's Mark Weir alongside PAValleys.com's National 24 Hour Solo Series Champions Bradon Draugulis ('09) and Rob Lichtenwalner ('07/'08); perennial NUE series contenders Christian Tanguay and Harlan Price from Team CF as well as endurance race stalwart Evan Plews and top US Ruta finisher Alex Grant (Cannondale) are some of the stars who will be battling it out daily with a slate of regional stars and local legends for the right to wear the Pactimo TSE Leader's Jersey.  The women's entrants are just as powerful with multiple time World 24 Champ, Rebecca Rusch (Specialized), women's 2009 Iron Cross Champion Selene Yeager and her Team CF mates Nikki Thiemann and Kristin Gavin, PAValleys.com's Carolyn Popovich and Karen Potter (MTBRaceNews.com) amongst those ripping each other apart daily in pursuit of their own Pactimo leader's jersey at the TSE.

TSE director Mike Kuhn noted, "The quality of the racers taking part in our first year is fantastic; there hasn't been a field like this assembled for a mountain bike race in the region in a long time."  He added, "It's not just elite racers. We have people coming because they see Trans-Sylvania as a perfect mountain bike vacation or as an incredible challenge.  We can't wait to show mountain bike enthusiasts and racers from across North America just how good the riding is in Pennsylvania as this event unfolds."

"This is a great opportunity to meet and interact with some of the nation's best racers," added director Ray Adams. "If you love mountain biking you'll have a whole week to ride incredible trails and compare notes with some of the finest riders around the bonfire each evening.  You're not going to find this anywhere else.  It's especially true this first year as we set the stage for what will become at least eastern North America's don't miss mountain bike experience.  Yes, seven days of great trail riding in a row is not easy, but it is absolutely possible for a lot of riders.  What's more, the sense of accomplishment from riding seven back to back days is beyond words.  Everyone should - and can - experience that."

When asked why he is choosing TSE over the multitude of of stage races out there; CFRs Bishop replied, "It's about riding killer technical single track. Some places have good scenery and some good trails but nothing is like the raw rocks roots and deep forest of the east coast single track in PA. Riding in the state college area is world class and with solid promotion back round the race is sure to be well run and a lot of fun." He continued, "TSE is going to be demanding, in fact its probably the longest stage race in North America; but that is going to make for an incredible experience. If the other trails are like what I have ridden, its going to rock!"

Specialized's three time Women's World 24 Hour Solo Champ Rebecca Rusch commented on TSE, "I love mountain bike stage races because the offer the opportunity to really see the riding an area has to offer.  For me 7 days in a row of hard racing is a perfect training block and sort of my own PA boot camp.  I have not ridden out East much and from what I hear, this place offers some of the best single track in the world.  The TSE jumped out at me because of the reputation of the race directors, the chance to ride out East and the time of year of the event."  Her husband Greg Martin (Club Ride Apparel), owner of two 24 Hr Solo Singlespeed World Titles added, " I'm really looking forward to spending a full week riding some of the beautiful trails that PA has to offer.  Having grown up in Virginia and now living out west, I really miss the technical trails that the east coast is famous for.  This is going to be a super fun race!"

WTB's legendary Mark Weir offered up a slightly different motivation for attending, "Last time I was in PA I got schooled by a bunch of round face tough guys.  This race looks like a great way to find some redemption."  Weir seems to have his eye on one competitor in particular adding, "Harlan you and your 29”s of wheel better look out. Had about enough of you buddy."

Based out of the expansive Seven Mountain Scout Camp near State College, PA, the Trans-Sylvania Epic offers 7 days of spectacular trails in some of the most remote riding in Pennsylvania through the spectacular Allegheny mountains.  Through the course of the 7 days the participants will explore over 250 miles of mountain bike heaven and just scratch the surface of the trails and paths in this part of PA.  The event will challenge riders physically and mentally but reward them with an experience they'll never forget.  Running May 30-June 5, 2010, more information about Trans-Sylvania at www.TransSylvaniaEpic.com.

MASS Racers,

 

I have re-loaded all races with all plate corrections that I have been given.  Please take a look at your individual and team standings and let me know if anything is incorrect.  The enduro from Iron Hill has not been loaded yet.  Also, if you find you are off by a few points it is because that points scale posted on the MASS website has a few finish places that are off by a point or two.  We have to fix that so it matches the scoring system. 

 

If you do find any errors please send me an e-mail with the following:

 

Race with error, Racer Name, Series Plate #, Class, Finish Position, Team (if missing or incorrect)

 

Other important info:

 

Stoopid pre-reg closed Fri at 8PM.

 

Will send out a detailed e-mail about Marysville weekend tomorrow.

 

MASS

Great day at the Stoopid 50 last Sunday.  A huge hats-off to Chris Scott and his Shenandoah Mountain Touring crew for a great event.  Loved the post-race food and beer.  Results posted here.  Series standings are all updated including the Stoopid 50.

 

http://www.masuperseries.com/2010/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=71&Itemid=4

 

No MASS race this weekend so think about making the trip to Harrisonburg for the Massanutten Ho-Ha.  For endurance racers there is a 38 mile single-loop XXC Sunday morning and traditional XC races Sunday afternoon.  Also, get off the can and get registered for Marysville – ‘nuff said.

 

 

John

Hello Racers,

 

I think we are going to make a little change to the way we were going to score MASS points for Marysville based on some feedback and suggestions from many of you who want to come out Saturday but can’t make the entire weekend.

 

So what we will do is score the Saturday solo/team enduro race as one MASS race (XC or endurance based on what MASS class you select in the registration system when you register for the enduro).  We will also score the entire 3 race stage race as another MASS race (again, XC or endurance based on what you select).  The stage race will still be scored with the NTT & STXC races making up 25% each and the enduro making up 50% of the total stage race score.

 

We are going to leave pre-reg open until 9PM tonight to give everyone a little more time to get registered. If you have any questions please e-mail me off-line.

 

John

Was in the Saturday race, so nothing of that...except sore legs. Thought about
doing a lap w/camera in pocket, stopping for some shots, but really....riding
was enough work. I forgot to really.

7/1/10 - Thanks for all those that came to the Stage Race and Festival.  It was hot but as always Mike Kughdog put on another great event.  Stage race results are posted and we are working on the files to load in to the scoring system.  Some manual work to be done with cross-referencing everyone's MASS category. Hope to have everything updated by the end of the holiday weekend.

This Sunday (7/4) is the Lone Pine Classic.  This is a must-do for anyone that can make it.  It is a great race with some of the best singletrack Michaux has to offer.  It is old-skool style racing with a mass start, a big long climb to sort things out and one big sweet loop. Registration closes Thursday night so get your mass's over to BikeReg and sign up.  Don't forget your series plate.

Hey Charles - Sorry I couldn't join you today. Do you have a gps track for the course, or is last year's close enough? If you upload rides to Garmin Connect, a link to that ride would be all I would need.  I hope to hit it tomorrow to scout photo locations.
