Just kidding. Racers dont get help. You did sign up for the InSayner.

But not you. Youre here on purpose.

THE INSAYNER BACK COUNTRY RACE (25 MILES)

The signature event: challenging, fast, and wildly funa course that rewards steady effort, smart pacing, and riders who can grin through the occasional gut-check.

The route starts in Sayner at the Community Center, heads out on snowmobile trails to the single track at Musky Mountain bike trails, and then winds through a true Northwoods mix of trail and backroad terrain, including stretches near Plum Vitae Road, Vandercook Road, Klondike Road, and Ross Lake Road, before bringing you home on snowmobile trails.

A FEW FRIENDLY NOTES FROM YOUR RACE DIRECTORS:

* This is toughbut its doable if you pace yourself and keep the wheels turning.
* Theres a cutoff: make it in time and you stay on course; miss it and youll take the alternate route back.
* No dramatics required. Hydrate, fuel, and keep movingfuture you will be grateful.

Come for the challenge. Stay for the community. Leave knowing your ride directly supports LAMBO TRAILS in Northern Wisconsin.

SEE YOU INSAYNER!

Danny and Mike O.
