The Ouachita Challenge Approaches

The 60 mile Ouachita Challenge is coming fast and going down on Sunday, March 27th in Oden, Arkansas. While last year's race offered a 60 and 80 mile route, this year it will be just a 60 miler.

To get an idea of some times we might be seeing this years , take a look at the winning times in the 60 miler from 2009...


[Geared Men] Jeff Kerkove- 4:50:29
[Single Speed] Ben Shockey (Vassago Cycles)- 5:44:50
[Geared Women] Sonya Lonney (Topeak/Ergon)- 5:39.29

With there being no 80 miler, the sold out field will be packed and stacked. Can't wait to see more what goes down. To see how things went down last year take a look at some of these videos...

Damn, with the trails around XXC World HQ still covered snow and ice, it's nice see some folks racing and riding on dirt!
