Description
This is the 15th year of Lodi and the 3rd year that the race is part of the Virginia Off-Road Series. This year the race format will be the same as last year, with the same 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 last year, the race will be fueled with amazing prizes by no other than THE BIKE STOP!!! A HUGE thanks to B.O.B.!!! Make sure to check out his store in Culpeper, VA - it is well worth the trip!
Three and two person teams and solo endurance riders will race from NOON to MIDNIGHT Saturday. We will set course to provide ~1 hour lap times. Most complete laps started before midnight wins. This should be a great warm-up/shakedown race for the 24 Hours of Big Bear (formerly the 24 Hours of Snowshoe and 24 Hours of Canaan) in June. Primitive 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 sweet porta potties - why would you want showers or warmed toilet seats anyway, right? Make sure to bring what you need and take what you made!
Promise you won't find a nicer 12 Hour set-up anywhere!

~9-10 mile laps of tight, windy, rolling single track. Some wet stream crossings and lots of roots. Old school FUN! Course will be similar to last year's, but there are some new sections.

The trails of Lodi Farm are on the private property of Mrs. Grigg. We hope everyone will respect the land and its owner by leaving the farm as you found it - take your trash with you. Please give thanks, a hug, and a hand shake when you see Mrs. Grigg - we couldn't continue this awesome race without her support of our sport!
