Subject: Halloween 'Cross @ Flying M - race/ fest notes
In an attempt to put a schedule on Saturday's Halloween Cyclocross Fest, here is a rough description and timeline of activities for this weekend's Cyclocross Crusade event at the Flying M Ranch. Realize that these times are suggested only.....do not go stage yourself on your trainer at the start of the clunker race, hoping to get a front row spot.
As always, consult www.crosscrusade.com for the real skinny on the real series race and other info.
Saturday, October 29th
a.. Pumpkin lobotomies (all day)
b.. Bicycle petting zoo (all day)
c.. Poker ride (starting around 1:30pm)
d.. Hash Run (hounds gather at 3:30pm- hares depart at 4:00PM)- what is a hash? see http://www.oregonhhh.org/spanky/whatis.html#A1_3
e.. clunker race on course (only clunkers allowed) @ 5:30pm. Depending on # of participants and available bikes, we may run heats.
f.. Skidding contest (for distance and accuracy) - held off the back porch of the Sawtooth Lounge (concurrently w/ halloween party)
g.. Bike 'Derby of Doom'- held off the back porch of the Sawtooth Lounge (concurrently w/ halloween party)
h.. Halloween Costume Party in the Sawtooth Lounge (9pm-2am): Costume contest (special prizes), food & drink specials and live music by 'Porterhouse'
i.. Restaurant is open all day Saturday until 10pm.
j.. Limited lodging options still available (almost sold out), but there is copious amounts of camping still available. Call Kelly @ the Flying M (503-662-3222) to make your reservations.
Sunday, October 30th
a.. XC footrace (see www.xdogevents.com for more info)
b.. Cyclocross Crusade Series Race #4
c.. Racers in costume get $5 off. Wearing a yellow jersey and calling yourself Lance does not count. We're talking a real costume here. Special awards will be given to the best costumes.
d.. Restaurant opens @ 7:30am with a nice breakfast buffet and will be open all day.
I know I don't really need to say the following, but I will anyway as a gentle reminder. Make sure we are all good patrons to the lovely people at the Flying M Ranch. Have fun and get crazy in a safe environment, but be mindful we are guests at this gem of a facility. Make sure we all let the employees and owners of Flying M know how much we all appreciate having a premier venue for our halloween race.
See you all this weekend!
