This is the 11th year of Lodi, and the 2nd year it has been put on by FredEvents. The 12 Hours of Lodi race is part of the Virginia Off-Road Series.  This year the race format will be different, but the atmosphere and the challenge will be the same!   If you have never done an endurance event or it's your first time to race the farm, we guarantee you will have a BLAST! And like last year, the race will be fueled with amazing prizes by no other than THE BIKE STOP!!! A HUGE thanks to B.O.B.!!! Make sure to check out his store, especially the remodeled upstairs - The Stolen Underground: An "all-you -need" for anything skateboard related.

Three and two person teams and solo endurance riders will race from NOON to MIDNIGHT Saturday.  We will set course to provide ~1 hour lap times.  Most complete laps started before midnight wins.  This should be a great warm-up/shakedown race for the 24 Hours of Big Bear (formerly the 24 Hours of Snowshoe and 24 Hours of Canaan) in June.  Primitive camping will be permitted on site (BYO water, electricity, etc.).

The new timing of this year's event should make for an awesome weekend of camping and celebrating post race.  We'll keep you posted with details on the finish line party as we get things lined up.
