12 Hours of Lodi Farm

Type: Endurance/Marathon

 

This is the 17th year of Lodi. The 12 Hours of Lodi race is part of the VAMTBS. The race should NOT interfere with any other endurance event this year, so get your teams together and come enjoy some awesome atmosphere and sweet single track. If you have never done an endurance event or it's your first time to race the Farm, we guarantee you will have a BLAST! And like many past years, the race will be fueled with amazing prizes by no other than THE BIKE STOP!!! A HUGE thanks to Eric "Squirrel" Robinson!!! Make sure to check out his store - it is sweet especially with all the renovations that they made!

 

Three and two person teams and solo endurance riders will race from 10 A.M. to 10 P.M. Saturday, May 3. We will set course to provide ~1 hour lap times. Most complete laps started before midnight wins. Primitive, but beautiful camping will be permitted on site (BYO water, electricity, etc.).

 

The timing of this event should make for an awesome weekend of camping and celebrating post race. There will be porta potties - why would you want showers or warmed toilet seats anyway, right?
