Oh yea crank it up.

Take off the extra weight, the middle and granny rings.
Pump up the volume, add air to the tyres.

NECS #3 is gonna be held in the maze at the Manchester watershed area.
Bear Brook will be hosting a motorcycle rally that has forced EFTA to move the venue to its' new location.

The old Watershed Wahoo site is out and never will never be back. Thus the race will be held in the Maze, on the fire roads. Parking will be off Depot road in the board yard, the field by Lady slipper. I have ridden the proposed course and you talk motorcycle at Bear Brook that's what the speed will be like in the Maze except on mountain bikes. The Old Maz did a 22 minute lap with his rigid 29'er geared at 32/20 and with just 25 psi on 29 x 2.55 tyres. That has to be the slowest set-up for the course other that my trikes.

Stay tuned for more and look for a cyclecross class in this race.
