We had some heavy rains on the course the last couple days but it weather
it well and is already dry enough to ride. Some new information was put on
the race website regarding accommodations. More importantly, more maps are
now up for the course.

You should find the interactive map interesting

The course is fairly well flagged now from start to finish. Yellow
checkered mark the way out and generally pink checkered mark the return. It
is important on the far end of the ridge to catch the new trail that is
flagged to the left with both yellow checkered and pinflags in the ground.
This is a short trail that pops you over the ridge to a road that you'll
climb back up. There are about 5 logs on that climb on the far end that
still need to be cut out but otherwise the rest of the course is about
ready to go. Between the maps and flagging, you should be able to ride the
entire course now. The day before the race, direction arrows and ribbon
will be added for pre-ride.
