    Default ScoCoPa Frenzy for Dummies (questions)

    Ok, here I am again with my thread full of questions for the next big race! Your comments and suggestions from my Sylvan Island Stampede questions thread were very helpful for my very first MTB race. I have been riding at Scott County Park a couple of times, but I am much less familiar with the trails there than Sylvan Island. With all that in mind, here are my questions regarding the Novice race that I plan to enter:

    1) Will the Novice race incorporate any blue trails or will it just a route derived from the green trails?
    2) Where will the race start/finish line be located?
    3) Will there be an available pre-ride the Saturday before?
    4) What happens if the trails are wet (given that ScoCoPa closes much more frequently than Sylvan Island)?
    5) Any other notable differences from this race compared to Sylvan that I should be aware of? I assume it's more of a XC race, eh?
    6) No custom t-shirt option with this one, I assume?

    Thanks!

    Expect blue trails in the Novice race.
    Venue is hosted out of the Buffalo Bill Pavilion.
    If trails are open you can ride Sat. They should be marked by late afternoon.
    More hills than Sylvan.
    No shirts this time.
    ⚒ Trails don't build themselves. ⚒

    Is there a one lap race that a novice 9 year old could do or is it just the two laps the juniors do and the kids race?
    Riding faster isn't better. Riding better is better.
