*Dear Racers, *
*We race on Saturday, I hope you can join us!*
Course Update:
- It rained / snowed last evening and the course is in very nice shape
right now!
- We'll still water the road to keep dust down at the start, but the
rest of the course should be in much better shape than a few days ago.
- Pre-ride today or tomorrow is still fine, we'll be out all day
tomorrow hard-closing corners and putting up arrows.
Register Online until Noon Tomorrow!
Number Plate Pick Up Tomorrow:
- At WebCyclery , 550 SW Industrial Way,
541-318-6188
- Friday 5:00 - 7:00 PM
- Deschutes beer on tap
- *PARKING will be an issue* -- their lot is being completely removed
and rebuilt, so there is a handful of space in front of the shop, but ample
parking on the street and on the other side of the building, then you can
come through the breezeway. Better yet, ride your bike.

- Sign a waiver, check in and receive your *number plate *that goes on
the front of your bike and your *pull tag* that goes on your back
