Good news for all types of racers!
1. Weather looks beautiful - maybe a few sprinkles to keep the dust down on Saturday, but beautiful harvest weather on Sunday. Perfect weekend to tour the Hood River Valley and see the orchards and the mountain.
2. You can camp at the fairgrounds Friday and Saturday night. Best bet for Friday night camping is to turn left just past the toll booth at the main gate and camp along the tree line. We won't be around to collect camping fees until Saturday evening, so please be honest. ($10 tent/$15 RV).
3. We will have coffee and pastries for sale both days, thanks to 10 Speed Coffee (www.10-speedcoffee.com). The Hood River Valley High School FFA group will be selling BBQ from 10:30 to 2:00 on Saturday. On Sunday, Cyclosportif
will be there with waffles and Jake's fry shack will have frites (Hooray for both! It must really be cross season). Still awaiting confirmation for a taco tent from the Michoacan restaurant for Sunday (best Mexican food in the area).
4. All of our prizes are from local businesses and we will have a raffle for a big ol' basket of Hood River goodness for a lucky racer who races both days. Drawing will be held on Sunday at 1:40ish (just before the women's races) - must be present to win.
Can't wait to see you here!
