Hey Everyone,

The 4th Annual Team Group Health Independence Valley Road Race (IVRR) is
March 28nd in Rochester WA. The course is 19.5 mile loop with a couple of
hills that take you from valley to valley, has some great rolling hills, and
fast twisty farmland. Rumor has it that this will be one of the hardest one
day classics in WA and being 90 minutes away from Seattle and Portland
bragging rights are on the line. Online registration is open
through BikeReg.com. I encourage the Cat 5 Men, Cat 4 women, and Master
C/Ds to preregister so you get a guaranteed starting position since these
fields have historically filled up.

*Parking*

· Parking may become limited and carpooling is strongly recommended.
If parking is full at Swede Hall you can park close to town, at the
Rochester High School, or Thurston County Community Center at Albany ST Ave
SW and 183rd Ave SW. *NO PARKING at the Rochester Fire Station*. Also, if
you need to setup a tent park at Thurston County Community Center or
Rochester High School because space is limited.

I hope to see everyone at the race.

Thanks,

Erik
