Hello All,

We are geared up for a fun race ahead this weekend. It has been raining on and off all week, and we have ordered sunshine and 70 for Sunday with tacky dirt.

Because of a small trail conflict on the Southern part of the course, the Forest Service required me to remove the smaller loop inside of the bigger loop. Instead, Pro, Cat 1, Cat 2, SS, and Clydesdale will be doing the loop SW of jct. 21 and 22 twice. Then, below at the finish, there will be less double track (2miles).

It came as a suprise to me to get the word yesterday, but the overall result will be close to the same distance with more singletrack, and a repeat of one of the more fun parts of the course. Riders can expect another ten minutes +/- , because the added parts are singletrack, and the omitted parts are doubletrack.

I will have maps posted at registration, so that people can see the change. I hope it is clear to all of you, and I apologize for the confusion. Again, I just caught word of the need for change yesterday at about 3:00PM.

Gear up for a wild ride!
