Maskethine race preride

Hey all,

I am going to go to Maskethine lake this Saturday August 4. Does anyone want to ride along? I have room for One other bike, or would split gas if someone else drives. I was thinking of leaving in the morning, not too early, and being back before 6. Also, does anyone know where the trail head is, and which way the race is going to go. I know the turn off from 275 but thats it.

There is an adventure race scheduled for Aug 5 so the course should be mowed and maybe have markings.

275 west to hwy 57, south 2 miles to 837th, west 1.5 to park entrance.

Go back to boat launch for parking and race hq. Will start from there and go up the hill and enter trailhead 2 and first right on singletrack back down hill. Follow course counterclockwise.

Only confusion when I was there was to take right instead of straight just west of trailhead 2 for south loop. When finishing south loop, go right to trailhead 2 for additional laps.

Wolf's Den in Stanton has good selection of food for after ride refuel.

I suggest checking out trailhead 2 before starting down the singletrack on the first lap, then you will recognize the intersections between the north and south loops.
