Tech Guide
The Preliminary Techinical Guide is now available online. For NRC categories go to www.cascade-classic.org to download it for all other categories you can find it at www.cascadestagerace.com This is a preliminary techinical guide and I always reserve the right to change it at any time up to packet pickup so please make sure and throw this one away when you arrive at packet pickup as the one you receive there is the official guide.

Packet Pickup
Packet pickup for all NRC fields will be located at the Phoenix Inn in downtown Bend. Team directors can come to packet pickup from 4-6 PM to get their teams packets. You must have at least 4 riders to be considered a team and have a team car in the caravan. Their will be a team managers meeting from 6-7 PM at the same location. This meeting is mandatory if you want to put a team car in the caravan. You must have a team director or rider present and they must hold a valid license from USA Cycling. Individuals riders your packet pickup is from 7-8:30 PM at the same location.

All other competitors can pickup their packets at Bend Bike N Sport on Thursday from 5-8 PM or on Friday before the race at 8-10:30 AM. There will be no packet pickup available at the start of the race. Bend Bike N Sport is on Century Drive on the way up to the start area at Wanoga so it will not take much time out of your busy morning. Please be aware that the Pro Men will be starting in Bend and be heading up to Wanoga and beyond between 10:00 AM and 10:40 AM that morning. You will not be allowed to pass so if you are wanting to get up there early please leave an appropriate amount of time.
