Apr. 29: Course Preview Video
Watch this four minute tour of the course to see the roads that will be covered during the race. The video was taken yesterday, so you can see the current conditions. The footage is shaky, but so is the race course.
Apr. 20: Pre-register to Speed Up Check-In
With all categories starting within less than 15 minutes, check-in will be a busy place on Sunday, May 3 at Milan High School. Pre-register by April 29 and you'll simply have to show your license, sign your name on the pre-printed rider release, grab your number and timing chip, and you'll be done.
Remember that check-in closes at 9:30 a.m., but it opens at 8:00. Stop by to check-in first thing when you arrive to avoid any lines.

Due to the challenging nature of the Cone Azalia course, competitors get points just for starting Cone Azalia. And even more if you finish. That's on top of any points top placers earn. Check out the Michigan Challenge Race Series format details on the MBRA site.
