A: Yes, there will be a few portalets located near the race start in downtown Loudonville.

Q: How much of the course is Singletrack?

A: There are over 40 miles of Singletrack. The remainder of the course consists of doubletrack, dirt roads and less than 10% paved.

Q: Do you have a map and/or course description available?

A: A map and course description will be available at registration and packet pick-up on Friday evening. Much of the course is located on private property as well as "forbidden" horse trails. As a result, the only trails that can be pre-ridden are the completed 25 mile loop at the Mohican State Park as well as the first 4-5 miles of the Mohican Wilderness Race Course located just 11 miles from the park (www.mohicanwilderness.com) down Wally Road off of SR3. . There is no cost to ride and both trails are open to the public.

Q: What about aid stations?

A: There will be aid stations located approximately every 20-25 miles along the course. They will be staffed and stocked with food and water. Aid stations will have communications as well.

Q: Will I be able to send drop bags to aid stations?

A: Racers are permitted to have drops bags at aid stations 2 and 4. Drop bags will be collected at race HQ, Mohican Adventures, at the start of the race and delivered to their respective aid station. small camelbacks are allowed, however, ALL bags should be no larger than 2'x 2'and less than 5lbs. Zip lock storage bags will be provided in your race packet. All drop bags should be clearly labeled with the racers name and race number. Since there will be aid stations providing a variety of food and water approx. every 25 miles, you should only need to include items that are not provided by aid stations. Typical items might include special foods or drink mixes, spare tubes, parts, tools, extra bike shorts/clothing, and lights for the last aid station. You can include anything you think you may need, provided that the bag is not oversized and it is clearly labeled. If you include items that are breakable, it is your responsibility to insure that breakable items are properly padded. Once the aid stations are closed, all drop bags will be retrieved from the aid stations and delivered to the race finish area. Racers can pick them up in the evening after the race at approximately 9pm. Please NOTE: DROP BAGS and/or contents WILL NOT BE MAILED. Please remember to pick them up after the race.

Q: Will I be able to finish at night if I have lights?

A: Due to the numerous trails and previous difficulties with racers getting lost in the dark piney woods of the Mohican State Forest, there will be a cut off time of 8pm at aid station 5, the final aid station. Racers will be allowed to use their lights, however, no racer will be allowed to continue after this final cut off. This is for your own safety.

Q: Can I switch from the 100mile to the 100k or vice versa?

A: Yes, However, it needs to be done no later than packet pickup on Friday evening. No switching will be allowed on the morning of the event or during the race.

Q: Will there be shuttles in the morning to the race
start in Loudonville?
A: No. The race start in downtown Loudonville is only 1 mile from the new race headquarters and race finish at Mohican Adventures. A newly paved bike path along SR3 leads to the downtown area. Racers staying at Mohican Adventures or the Little Brown Inn will not need to drive to the race start this year. 

Q: Where can I get dinner on Friday?
A:  There are several nearby restaurants in the downtown area and along SR3

Raders Family Resturant and McDonald's on State Rt. 3 will begin serving breakfast at 5am, other resturants include Pizza Hut,East of Chicago includes a sports bar within walking distance of race HQ, both are on SR3 and Book's Baubles and Brew and Subway, both on Main Street. A favorite Local watering hole, Beano's, downtown, serves Burgers and sandwiches. 

Q: What tires do you recommend?

A: if its a dry race, you can get away with light tread at Mohican. I recommend the Kenda Karma or Kenda Small Block Eight for Mohican. The SB Eight is lightweight and has excellent rolling resistance on the gravel roads and dry trails! Kenda Karma's are a good choice for wet or dry conditions...also light weight. If it looks like it could be a reeeallly wet race, consider the Kenda/John Tomac Nevegal, voted #1 two years in a row by Mountain Bike Action Magazine. The Nevegal is a bit more beefy and will give you a little more confidence when cornering through the mud, especially on the horse trails, which can be muddy even if the the entire race course is bone dry.
