I’ve been wanting to put on a stage race for several years now, and its time to do it! With no further adieu, I would like to announce the 2011 Bad Mother Stage Race hosted in and around Shippensburg PA and Michaux State Forrest. With 15 diverse stages over the course of 3 days, you will have to be one tough hombre to finish this race. Chose one of our four categories and see if you can make it through. There’s no prize money or shwag to be won, only bragging rights and an exclusive belt buckle to prove that you are one Bad Mother F<#ker.

EVENT RULES
-No littering. If I see you littering, I will kick you out of the event. This goes for gu wrappers and the like. Keep my forest beautiful.
-Take your trash home with you.
-Be kind to everyone. NOBODY likes "that guy". Don't be that guy.
-If you cut the course, intentionally or not, own up to it. If you own up to it, I'll let you finish in last place of your category (it happens, I understand) and still earn points. If you don't own up to it, and at least 3 people can testify to it, I kick you out of the event and publicly humiliate you. It's not cool.
-If somebody is hurt on course and you find them, it is YOUR responsibility to find a course marshal and let them know! No race is so important that you can't help someone out.
-No cheating, bad sportsmanship, throwing bikes, temper tantrums, uproarious behavior, or making a scene. I'll kick you out on principle.
-If you think there is an error in your results, bring it to my attention like a responsible adult. If you corner me and attack me about a finish error, I will kick you out and DNF you on principle. Nobody deserves that kind of behavior.
-No solo fires. Charcoal grills are fine, but don't dump it in my yard. Bring it along, take it home.
-Dogs Permitted- please keep them on a leash though....We don’t want any accidents on the road. Pick up after them, I hate stepping in sh*t. We will be gone all day, so plan accordingly. Tying dogs to a tree sucks, so if you can make alternative arrangements for them, that may be for the best. They can’t run along with us, since we’ll be on some paved roads.

NOTE FROM THE PROMOTER
I reserve many rights. Mostly the right to change my mind an excessive amount of times and also the right to be wrong and make mistakes. And to mix up numbers and words. Sorry, that's just how it is.
