Just in time for the weekend - course maps for the 2013 edition of the Rumble in the Jungle! A few notes -
- Course changes may be made up until race day depending on trail conditions, weather, and the mood of the course designer - so be nice to him!
- There are still a few blowdowns, branches hanging, etc. left over from Hurricane Sandy, winter snows, etc. We will be working over the next 2 days to clean up them up and clear any leaf covered connectors, etc., but please exercise caution as you ride the lap for the first time!
- Course is basically the same as last years, with a few very small, minor changes. It will run the same direction as the last few years - counterclockwise, starting at the top of parking lot. Finish will be coming into parking lot out of tunnels.
- By this Friday night (May 10), we will try to have a few arrows up around to point out connectors that you may not be familiar with, etc. Course will be marked before sundown on Friday, May 17 - feel free to come by Friday afternoon to help out!
- Cat 1 - will be doing 3 laps. Cat. 2 will do 2 laps (except Cat. 2 Juniors 10-14), Cat. 3 rides 1 lap. The course is very slightly different for Cat 2 & 3 - make sure you pick the correct map/GPS file for your class.
- If it is wet this weekend/week, please be considerate of the trails and try not to tear them up too much.
Go forth and conquer!

Link for GPS not working....
Try again - I unzipped them, but maybe it is better not to - to be honest, everyone tells us that GPS files are not great in JH - the trails are so close to each other that it is hard to get a good read. Also, there is some bad GPS juju there, hard to get an exact route file - we figure it is the ghosts of the monkeys messing with us. ;-)
This is cool!
