Hello,



I spent the past few days in Baker City riding the road stages of the Elkhorn Classic and meeting with community leaders. I am happy to report that the community of Baker City is thrilled to again be hosting the race in 2004 and the courses are as beautiful and challenging as ever. All of the stages are clear of snow so if you are looking for a few great days of riding and training Baker County is a great place to go.



Baker City, the 2004 Elkhorn Classic, and sponsors, bring you the following family fun:



a.. Third Annual Spaghetti Feed at the High School, Friday, June 25th.

b.. Downtown parade on Saturday, June 26th.

c.. Free Hot Dogs Saturday, June 26th.

d.. Free pie and coffee Saturday, June 26th.

e.. Shimano Youth Series Kids Race Saturday, June 26th.

f.. Fireworks display Saturday, June 26th.

g.. Free kids bike raffle.

The Elkhorn Classic is a major positive financial event for the community and a big part of the high school's sports fund raising efforts. Baker City, the high school, and I, thank you for supporting the event.



Got questions?



Does everybody ride the same courses?

Yes. Everybody pays the same amount for entry fees so everybody gets to ride the same beautiful, challenging courses.



What course will you use for stage four?

The 101 mile Dooley Mountain course is too good not to use. It will always be the stage four route and finish on top of Dooley mountain.



When will the courses be free of snow?

The courses are free of snow now and are in great condition to ride. Check the weather before you go.



What do registrations look like as of today?

The cat 3 field will reach the 100 rider field limit and is about 50% full now. The men's 4/5 field is also filling fast. The other categories are showing strong sign ups and based on last year's numbers the men's pro 1/2 field will be near capacity.



What is your refund policy?

Cancel in...

March-100%

April- 75%

May- 50%

through June 20th- 25%

after June 20th- 0%



Will the High School be available for camping in 2004?

Yes, Thursday night June 24th through Saturday night June 26th for 5$ per person per night. This is a fund raiser for the Baker High Volleyball team and all proceeds go directly to that program.



Where can I register?

Go to www.elkhornclassic.com for complete registration details. A team discount is available via regular post but is not available with on-line registrations.



Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the 2004 Elkhorn Classic Stage Race or riding in Baker County.



See you at the races.

Sincerely,

Nathan Hobson
