Ballard Crit

Preregistration for this year's Ballard Criterium closes Thursday June 5th
at 10:00 PM MDT (that's 8:00 PM PDT). So reserve your spot now.

Just signed on to sponsor the race, Cascade Bike Trainers donated a sweet
trainer worth $300 to the winner of the Category 3 mens race!
Check them out here: http://www.cascadebiketrainers.com/
Cat3 men, we hope to see you guys out there working hard for it.

What about the other categories?
Well, just to name a few things, we've got
- $100 primes a almost every field
- FSA donated full cockpits (bar, stem, post. They'll even help make sure
you've got the right size)
- sunglasses from Julbo
- Mavic tires
- fun stuff from Chef'n
- tons of great clothing from Kavu
- and a gang of great gear from Planet Bike

And as always, we'll be handing out great coffee from Galileo Coffee in
Squamish, BC.

Gift cards of all denominations up to $100 come every field we have from
The Loft! Send your support crew there! And if you're racing an earlier
race, when you're done racing head down there to sit on the inside of
corner 4 where you can watch the action go by, as well as televised on
their big ol' TVs.

Cash money dollar bills come to you from:
- Ravenna Capital Management
- Rainier Bike Law,
- The Lock & Keel

And a special congratulations to* Robert Lehtinen *of Alki/Rubicon Racing,
who picked up a $100 gift card to The Loft just for registering early.
Thanks, Robert and everyone else who preregistered! Robert, drop by the
timing truck on Saturday to pick it up.

Hope to see you all Saturday in Ballard!

Make sure to give yourself ample time to navigate this weekend's road
closures. I-5 and 520 are both affected. Here's more information:
