Big Bad Wolf CX was a great event! The park had some pretty "smooth" grass and with JB's course setup it was definitely fast, even with the (ridable) beach. Unfortunately, I'll have to miss the Red Zone CX. But thanks and congrats to Northwood U for a great race!

Course is set and it'll be a lot of fun.

A note on the construction on E. Ashmen. When you come to the park approach FROM THE EAST!!!! Figure this into your directions otherwise you'll have to take a 2.5 mile detour if you approach from the west (therefore approaching from the east anyway). There are still detour signs if you come from the east but you're "allowed" to go to the park. Check the map for the park HERE and plan accordingly! Ashmen road is closed(ish...) between Waldo and just before the park entrance.

If you're coming from the south, I would take the Bay City Rd. exit and head east to Flajole Rd. Head North on Flajole and take W. Wilder / E. Ashmen to the west. Continue through the detour signs across US 10 to the park.

If you're coming from the north, take the Wheeler/Waldo Rd. exit and head East on Wheeler. Turn south on Rockwell and West on Ashmen. Proceed through the detour signs across US 10 to the park.

Course route (approximate):

Course will feature a pretty long beach ride and a few long straightaways. Overall elevation gain is probably somewhere around that of Bloomer Park, and the course will make use of a few hundred meters of the mulch-covered trails. A few twists in the wooded sections will favor those riders than can actually turn their bike, but the paved finish will be fast!

Anyone putting a team together for the 11:30 team race?

Big Bad Wolf CX (BBWCX). What's the scouting report on that one?

Hello Paul,

You can definitely register day of, but if you want to buy a shirt, you need to order that ahead. You can order the shirt and not race if you like.

We'll have a limited number of MID stickers we'll be giving out to the first people registered as well.

The weather is forecasted to be AWESOME, so register today!!!

Thanks for the info Joe,

Can you sign up and pay for the race on the day of the event? Are there any price changes if you do so?

Yeah Randy, if by big gun you mean "Big Pop Gun Filled with Marshmellows." We've been going to Louisville for the last 3 years, and it's super fun to see the real big guns at work. I'll be at the the WWCX this weekend (unless I can sneak out and go to Cinci). Most likely I'll see you there. Missed you at Munson, but was looking for you - I was busy with our crew of 4 racers. You had a good race - nice going.

I'll be at WWCX this weekend. See you there?

Yeah, with the USGP on the same weekend as MACX some of the "big guns" of MI CX won't here - I guess that includes you now, Marc. ;-). But I think that lends itself to the more fun atmosphere for Mad Anthony.

If you remember the youtube vid of last year's MACX, we had a Re-enactor give us a pretty good starting "gun"

So maybe we will need body armor? -hahaha!

Comment by Surly Bastard on October 5, 2010 at 8:04am

A real live Fort? Will they have real live ammo? Yikes! Body armor is going to be hot. Actually I'd love to do this, but I'm going to be out of town USGPing. Great seeing everybody this past weekend at Munson. Fun to be back - Chicago was fun, but Tailwind is damn good 'cross, and I'll take it anytime. Anybody going to the WEREWOLF race, or whatever it is, this weekend?
