Hey Scott, here are a couple for you...

CTR 2013:  07.21.13

And the new California Sierra Trail Race is planned around Labor Day weekend sometime, but no firm date yet, I don't believe - there's a CSTR thread and Sean Allen (also his username) is the guy to ask.

[Beardog]

Scott, please post the following additional race with link for the first running of the AlCanBike Racehttp://alcanbikerace.com for sunrise on June 21, 2013 in Fairbanks, Alaska- total ride will be 1450 miles to Dawson Creek, AB--ITT's are of course welcome. For the moment it is myself and Jay P. but I expect the list and SPOT interest will grow in the next 6 months.

[ScottM]

Nice.  Added to the list.  Is "CSF&O 550 – The Kansas Cannonball" the name of the event?

[hikernks]

Yep, that'll work.  Thanks man!  Kind of short notice this year, but hope to add to it by 2014.

Scott,

Would you please adjust the hyperlink for AML to http://alleghenymountainsloop.blogspot.com/

I changed the blog page address/link to be less "date specific" and forgot to let you know.

Thanks,

Chris

Hi, the calendar on this site says the Coconino loop is October 11, 2013.  The website says Friday, October 5th (which seems like they haven't updated from last year)  Can anyone clarify the date?  Thanks!

[ScottM]

I don't know if it was updated in the last ~week, but everywhere on the AES site seems to indicated October 11th today.  That's the correct date.

[eddieodea]

The TNGA will begin on August 24th, 2013.
