Mike Ripley

Hello,

Just over 2 weeks left until you can stretch your legs for 100 miles at
close to 6000 ft elevation for the High Cascades 100

The Event will have 10-11 thousand ft of climbing and wrap you around Mt
Bachelor for some lava riding, before sticking you into rolling singletrack
fun and ending on some of Bend's newest Singletrack in Wanoga Snow Park.

You have 14 Hrs of Daylight to complete the trek and with excellent support
from Sunnyside Sports, Hutch's and Sagebrush Cycles, along with Neutral
Support From UBI and 3 big aide stations, you can do it.
Full radio support and well.....lots of singletrack.

You will have an hour or so of double track in the am to sort yourself out
on the first climb up to Mt Bachelor and then hit the trails.

Things to bring
Your smile
a light rain jacket.......I am putting the event on....so anything is
possible....if it does, maybe I should change my name to the Mike " Rain
Man" Ripley and put on cross races
Good tires......higher volume in my opinion
sunscreen.....really good sunscreen
Chair for after the event

Post event finisher Growlers, custom shirt and socks........if you finish
and a big BBQ Dinner and other super stuff.

This event is a great spectator event as the snow parks serve as aide
stations. So you can support your friends, and watch some of the race.

I do need sweep riders still to sweep one of 3 loops, and have a few but
could always use more to make sure the course is clear.

Thanks...more to come

Mike
