Anything more to this you can share? A source/report? Can confirm there was a new section added around England mtn. Keith makes it sound like part of it is ball bearing hill. two big climbs were added so that would be the 1st. The 2nd is probably around stallion. My guess was Lenard’s was re-added.

Here are the comments from Ed. At least I think so, I didn't see any others but could have missed them. I don't think this confirms he raced, just that he was there.

Loop directions this year were CCXX #BM100

yup 2/3rds is pretty close. Fire tower is at the peak marked with red.

Couldn’t find anything for 2021. Every race before 2017 was the traditional CCXX

Meatgrinder is 1700ft climbed in 1 mile.
Little Hell is 1220ft climbed in 0.66 miles
Testicle Spectacle had quite a few photographs (one attached) of it since it followed a powerline up the mountain. It was 650 feet climbed in 0.5miles

Noticeable route changes seem to happened every other year since the 2019 overhaul.

My guess is a late start time to make loop times of day more challenging, or a new twist in loop directions, or maybe Laz will find a way to fit in a ratjaw climb every loop. (9/9)

From 2022 to ‘23 the course mostly only saw books moved. Starting in ‘22 a first climb to bypass the trail switchbacks was added, and ratjaw is now only climb in CCW loops. Seemingly making the course a little easier with one less climb but now more off trail in other areas (3/9)

2024's changes saw a slight drop in distance as rusty spoon and fork were added and Lenard's butt slide was removed. Several old book locations were also moved or new ones added. The route change can be seen in these charts. Red was 2023 and black replaced it in 2024. (2/9)
