The days are ticking by fast as I can hear the rumbling sound of a Stampede coming! Our weather is expected to be near 70, and Peterson Ridge has been getting consistent rain throughout the week. Dirt conditions should be fast and fun.

As racers turn from the Highway, into Desparado trail, please follow the instruction of our parking volunteers. Parking will be along the roads of vacant lots. Please be considerate of spacing, and especially NO littering! There is about a 200 yard walk on the path between Shibui Spa, and the Sisters Athletic club heading over to the Brewery, Registration, and the Start/Finish. If you are on your bike, please wear your helmet.

Registration and after race activities will be covered by a vast 60'X90' tent. There will be four restrooms near registration, and four near the start/ finsih. The distance between both is about 200 yards. Please use these restrooms, and DO NOT sneak behind any cabins or buildings in the Five Pine campus. Also, most of you are very considerate about waste. We will have recycling, and garbage set up.

We are looking forward to the race! Please be safe in your travels. I will also post information about pre-riding for Saturday soon.
