Mike and I spent the morning up at Timberline making sure that the course

has been swept and cleaned up.



If you haven't done this event before. You park at the rest stop in

Government Camp. If the weather is iffy I'd strongly suggest that you have

someone drive the car to the top or park at the top, wear warm clothes down

to the start and then ride up to the car.



The course is NOT on the main Tmberline road. West Leg road is the old

Timberline Highway and is actually the Blossom Ski Run for

Timberline. There is a sign that says do not enter between the rest stop

and Timberline Road. We will start just 1 block from Hwy 26 up on West Leg

Road. The road is old, but in pretty good condition, there is some pine

needles and scattered gravel but no large deposits to worry about. All but

1 K is on West leg Road. When it meets the Timberline access road up a the

top it does a slight downhill, a very sharp left hand turn and then we ride

up in reverse direction to the day lodge. This last K is the steepest part

of the course.



There is no riding on the course after 9:30 and if you want to descend you

must do so on the much steeper TimberlineRoad. Timberline Lodge is having

a craft Fair so if you wanted to remain up in the area it sounds like that

would be fun.



It is only Tuesday but the forecast currently is iffy.
