Course Direction. Thanks to those who voted for their favorite course
direction. A slight majority favored the counter-clockwise course direction
with the uphill finish. So, for Banana Belt 2011 course directions will be 2
races counter-clockwise (with uphill finish) and 1 race clockwise (with
downhill finish). For BB#3, we will stick with our originally posted course
direction of clockwise with the finish in the same location as BB#1.

Series Standings. Standings are posted at

Prize List. If results go smoothly, we are expecting to hand out prizes on
race day within 1/2 hour of finishes at the registration shelter. If results
are contested or prizes are not picked up, prizes will be available at
Olsen's Bike Shop in Forest Grove http://olsonsbicycles.com/. The prize list
is available at http://sites.google.com/site/bananabelt10/home/prize-list

Feed Zone (Men 1/2 & Men 3). Feeds will be allowed for these fields. Feed
zone will be located at the entrance to Boat Ramp C (registration parking
