Hi All,

looks like it will be perfect for racing bikes.
Online registration will be open until 11:59 PM tonight and then on-site
registration will open at Noon tomorrow at NW 19th and Quimby. The BTA will
be onsite with information about the work they do in the state to keep all
of us safe. If you sign up to be a BTA member at the race tomorrow, we will
take $5 off your race entry fee. They will also be running the kids race,
so make sure to bring out the whole family. Saint Honor will be providing
great prizes for all our kid racers. Make sure to stop by their tent for
some great food and drink.
See you all tomorrow!
