Registration is open for the 2008 GMSR! Click here to go to the registration page on Bikereg.

Late last week we announced some exciting changes for the 2008 GMSR. Here is what is new: first we will be changing our first stage from a mass start hill climb to an individual time trail. We have had many riders ask for this change over the years and felt that the time was right to give it a try and see how it goes. This will be the fourth course change for this stage in the nine year history of the event. The second change is that the race will be scored on time this year. This has been a long standing request of many riders. While we are very proud of our scoring system, which has been used by other races, we wanted to try scoring the event on time as is done at most stage races. Our goal in making these changes is two fold, we want to keep the GMSR fresh and exciting for you and we wanted to respond to the many suggestions that we make these changes. We will of course be racing on our two signature courses the Mad River Road Race and the Burlington Criterium which both pre-date the GMSR and have provided lots of exciting racing over the years. We hope you will appreciate the changes to the 2008 event and as always we will look forward to your comments regarding the changes.

For many categories we will be lengthening the crit on Monday. This will allow you to use this race for upgrade points. As a result we will not have a citizen's crit this year. We will still have the citizen's Mad River event on Sunday. This event filled up in record time last year so register soon if you want to participate in 2008.
