Racing
Hello everyone! Thanks for racing!!!
The final start list is posted, changes have been made and we are ready to go.
http://consystency.net/obra/mhtt/data/mhtt_2015_startlist_sat.htm
Day-of is available. Please show up early 8:30 to get signed up so we can start the clock promptly at 10:00am. Thanks to our officials and volunteers all is good. Some reminders:
* Exercise caution and safety when riding down Hwy 173 from the lodge to Government Camp either before or after the race.
* Please park on the far WEST side of the government camp rest area. Our permits must allow for travelers to be able to park next to the restrooms, not racers.
* You may park in the Timberline Lodge parking lot at the top.
* Numbers on the LEFT
* Please use caution and a reminder that West Leg Road is not exclusively closed to racers. There are some campers and their vehicles along the side of the road as well.
*Preregistered riders need not check in. Just show up at the starting area approximately 150meters EAST of the Government Camp rest area. Look for the cones leading up to the start house.
* There are facilities at Government camp at the bottom, and inside Wy’East lodge at the top. Use them and not the outdoors or suffer the fate. A reminder we are all ambassadors of our sport. Also there will be minors present, please act accordingly.
You folks are the best all-around. Now let’s see who’s the best of best!
Safe riding, fun racing,
Ernie, the officials, and our volunteers!

It is amazing the largest, racing division is Masters men over 50. Prolly because climbing is really tough on young people :)
