It's back!!!!! After a 10 year hibernation the mountain bike race that puts the fun back into racing is back on May 6th. Most everything is the same. The goal is to finish all 7 laps out at Eastwood (close to 6 miles per lap), but if you only complete one you are still a finisher in our books. Two person teams return as well! Registration is $20 or $5 for youth. All proceeds go to the Rochester High School Team. And the prize table will continue to bring smiles!

Results are in.
2013 Sandwich 50 Results
Let me know if this link doesn't work for people. Converting files to work on all the different media platforms is not something I am very good at. Thanks Chris for the easy to use timing and results software.
I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. I won't do to much of a recap since I actually participated in very little of the real race, but I am sure plenty of others will have posts on blogs/forums. Despite the cold and wind I think that everyone enjoyed themselves. Thanks for coming and we hope you come back next time.

Thank You
Thanks to everyone that came out today. We had fun even if the weather wasn't perfect. We'll post a better write up and results probably Monday. For now I want to thank the race team of Charly (planning), Chris (trailwork and timing system), Nate (tons of trail work with the chain saw), Jeff (registration and background paperwork), and probably the biggest thanks to Shannon for running the timing and freezing her butt off all day. Also thank you to Bob and Bicycle Sports, and Matt and Rochester Cycling for kindling donating to the race.
I leave you with this; Brendan winning, holding a picture of Brendan winning signed by Charly as Brendan.

What to Expect when Your Expecting (to race the sandwich 50)
A few more days to go and here are the answers to some of the questions you might have.
1. Is there Friday registration pickup?
No, registration will begin at 8 am on saturday morning at the gazebo. It will only consist of signing your waiver and picking out a number.
2. Is it really 50 miles?
That depends on you. Do you carve the inside of the corners or do you rail the outside edges? Seriously you'll understand on saturday.
3.What's available at the race?
THERE IS NO WATER ON SITE, BRING YOUR OWN!! There will be a portapotty, but only one so don't plan on lining up a minute before race time. There are two nice playgrounds within seeing range of different parts of the course. There is a picnic shelter where there will be a large gas grill going. So we encourage people to bring some food for grilling and snacking. Consider it potluck style and please bring something to share.
4. What about our race food/drinks?
Immediately after the timers table there will be a section roped off for each racer/team to place a cooler or any tools they might need. There are no handups allowed so if you need something you will have to stop and grab it. This will be in the no race through area so your required to go slow anyhow through it.
5. Should we hang out after the race?
Yes, there will be grilling and hanging out with like minded people.
6. What about the weather?
Right now the weather looks to be cooperating. If there is a question about the weather check here friday night and saturday morning. Eastwood does not shed water well so if it's raining race morning then chances are it's a no go. You don't want to spend 6 hours in the mud at eastwood.
7.Who's going to Win?
Brendan
8. Can we preride on Friday?
The course is always open provided it's dry. The course is currently marked with red signs the whole way around.
If there are any other questions please post them up in the comments section or shoot us an email.

Hopefully this time!
You'll probably need to click on the image, and then click on it a second time to zoom in to make it readable.
More pics!!!!!!
Well, Al Farrow, one of volunteers took a bunch of pics and forwarded them to me. Thanks Al!
See them HERE on flickr.
Note: The last name Farrow is famous for endurance races similar to the Sandwich. Although Charlie had great fear of the Sandwich and did not participate, he sent his brother Al as a representative/spy for information gathering. Maybe a run at the 2012 title?
