Hey, everyone!

A couple final updates and reminders about today's Kruger's Crossing Cyclocross Classic (http://www.portlandracing.com/cx/).

Yesterday, our set-up crew built a great course that won't disappoint! We had quite a few people come out and pre-ride yesterday and the feedback was pretty unanimous: this is going to be a lot of fun! Things have nicely dried up during the last 48 hrs (read: everything is rideable) and I expect the course to get increasingly faster by mid-day, so it will be fun to see 4-time Danish CX Chaampion Joachim Parbo and the rest of A field tearing it up for 60' at crazy speeds.

A couple other course updates:
- There won't be a "spiral of death" this year, due to an anticipated need for extra overflow parking, though I am sure not many racers will shed a tear about that.
- We added some new lines in the back and a couple more jugs and turns.
- For the dogs, we built a nice, fenced-off dog corral, where they can socialize (and sniff butts) before and after the Doggie Dash. When not in the dog corral, dogs must be on leash at all time!
- The updated course map is posted at http://www.portlandracing.com/cx/course.html.

One other request: please drive carefully and slowly when entering/exiting the farm and on the parking lot. We expect a lot of people, including spectators and families with kids, so look out for people on foot or on bikes, while driving to/from/on the parking lot.

That's it. I am looking forward to seeing you all out at the farm. Let's have a party!
