Yankee Springs details?

Are we racing the trail backwards this year?

Not sure about everyone else but that's what I'm doing. Should be interesting.

I wanted to do the course figure-8

Couldn't get anyone else to agree

How long is each lap of the race course? I saw a previous post about seeing/passing mile marker 13 on the course, and the race registration site says 11 miles per lap.

11 for the race, the extra 2 are not part of the race course.

Is the "warm-up" lap included in the race?

Heads up for those driving in from the north ....or anyone using 131 south: road construction has southbound US131 slowed to a crawl about 1 mile north of Wayland, which is roughly 3 miles north of Exit 61...although early morning traffic SHOULD be ok....the Casino draws people all day/everyday, so you may hit a slow down. I would think if you rolled thru there mid-morning, a few minutes of stop-and-go should be the norm.
Just wanted to pass that on!

I somehow took a wrong turn heading home from yankee to grand rapids last night. Ended up taking 37 to m6 to 131. Seemed to be alot faster than going through construction.
