Custom Awards

As you may know, we commissioned some custom awards for the 2009 running of the 12 Hours of Blue Mound. The winners of the solo 12 hour classes got to take home a trophy/end table fabricated from wood, worn-out bike parts, and authentic Blue Mound rock that you're all so familiar with. The trophies are made by a local Blue Mounds artist, woodworker, and mountain biker, Jason Williams.

Good news for 2010, we're expanding the custom awards beyond just the 12 hour solo division winners.

Here's a photo of last year's awards to give you an idea of what they look like.

Wisconsin State Single Speed Championships!

A Big Thanks!

We'd like to thank all of our sponsors, racers, medical support crews, and volunteers for coming out to the 2009 12 Hours of Blue Mound! It was a beautiful day!

Thanks!

Thanks to Zap Event!

A big thanks to Zap Event and thier staff, especially owner Jeff Wedren, for helping us get online registration up and running for the 12 Hours of Blue Mound!

Online registration offers many advantages. It allows participants to pay for your entry with credit and debit cards, if that's your preferred method of payment, and it allows us to draw on those funds before the race actually happens, giving us a means to prepare for the big day.

Other event promoters can contact Zap Event to set up online preregistration for your event at 1.866.770.3355 or support@zapevent.com

Thanks again Jeff!

Reminder! Pre-ride tonight!

Just a reminder about the group pre-ride tonight at 6:00-6:30.

Start is at the top of the mound by the observation towers...not the normal start area by the swimming pool.

Get a guided lap around the 6 and 12 hour course.

A few of us may get there early enough (about 5:30) to do a lap of the 3 hour course before hand.

Weather.

This is in repsonse to another comment made to the post below this one. I'm having trouble with the Blogger website and it won't let me add another comment there, so I'll do it here.

In the event of a cancellation, we will post here as soon as we know.

Keep your fingers crossed for good weather this week!
