Founders Brewing Company presents the Lumberjack 100 and the Michigan Ultra Single Speed Championship. Michigans only 100-mile mountain bike race! The Lumberjack 100 will once again utilize Michigans beautiful
Manistee National Forest, with a 25-mile loop snaking through the
Big-M Ski Area. The Michigan style single track; composed mostly of hard pack trail, occasional sandy sections, and fast rolling terrain offers twists and turns that demand constant power, and total concentration as the trails quickly turn to nothing more than green blurs of forest. (If youre expecting easy, fire-road coasting, look elsewhere!) Ninety nine percent of the 25-mile, 4-lap race is comprised of this single track that will eventually push racers over 10,000 feet of total elevation gain.
From the pro/elite racers, to those that will find victory in just surviving a race like the Founders Lumberjack 100, the post-race meal has also made this a must-be-there event for both racers and spectators alike. In addition to enjoying the catered meal; there will also be post-race prizes including a
Cannondale Rush frameset,
Velocity wheelset,
Thomson Elite seat posts and stems, other bike schwag awarded to random race participants.
The Founders Lumberjack 100 is proud to be a stop on the
National Ultra-Endurance Mountain Bike 100 Series.
$130 entry fee includes: the race, aid-stations, timing, event t-shirt, pint glass, and post race meal.
Early Registration: $130.00
After March 1st: $150.00
You can transfer your entry to another race via Bike-Reg. Deadline for transfer is June 1st 2009, $20 fee applies.
Registration closes May 19th, but.......
WHY does registration close if the race hasn't sold out? Because I can't speculate how many racers may sign up between May 19th and June 17th and I need to get my final numbers into the t-shirt, pint glass and catering people. They need 3 weeks to prepare the goods and I can't afford to over purchase these items.
CAN YOU STILL SIGN UP PAST THE CLOSING DATE? Email me and see if we have sold out, if not, yes you may sign up...But I can't promise you'll receive the shirt, pint glass or post race meal. Founders Ale?...Yes, I can't take away a hard earned beer!
Make sure you understand the new version of the awards this year. The cash purse is distributed to the overall male and female. For example, if Scott Q is the fastest man overall, he takes the top cash prize and the axe trophy, if John Smith is 3rd overall but is registered as a Master he would take the 3rd cash prize and the Masters trophy if he's the top Masters. Another not impossible scenario? Say Dan Jansen is the fastest man overall and registered as a SS'der. He takes the top cash prize, the overall axe trophy and the SS axe trophy! The only way to place in the money for SS and Masters is to place in the overall class. In otherwords SS and Masters do not have your own seperate cash purse.
The Founders Lumberjack 100 is proud to be a part of the National MTB Ultra Endurance Series! More info on this exciting series can be had at
http://www.ultramtb.com/Exciting awards banquet news- Cannondale has donated a Rush frameset and Velocity has donated a disc wheelset to be raffled off to some lucky race attendants! But you must be present to win.
Free camping will be allowed at the Big M parking lot this year. Space will be limited and first come first served. Campfires are only allowed at the group fire pit near the lodge.
For those traveling from Wisconsin and Minnesota and wish to take the ferry across Lake Michigan, our sponsor Lake Express has offered
FREE trips across the lake for racers! Please email me for details.
