YIKES!!! 12 spots

Officially we have 12 spots left for the new Spring "Classic".

Some notes to those who may not be familiar with gravel roads and some rules re-iterated:

1) You are responsible for yourself!

2) You have to have a blinky red light for the rear and some sort of front light. There aren't a ton of people that bike on these roads so being seen is good! You are responsible for yourself.

3) For much of the race you'll be "in the middle of nowhere". We will provide accurate race tulips, but you're responsible for following them. No shortcuts. If you go off the course for some reason, you'll have to re-enter at the place you left. If something happens, please have someone you can call to come and get you. We don't want anyone stranded, but see #1.

4) Please obey the rules of the road. Stop signs technically mean stop. Yield - yield.

5) When going around blind corners it's usually a good idea to keep to the right a bit. Cars are not used to meeting anyone on the roads that we'll be going on.

6) You are responsible for yourself!

7) The weather in mid April can be anywhere from snow to 80 degrees. Please be prepared for whatever happens. The race will be held rain or shine.

8) I'll try and keep the gravel conditions up-to-date as the race approaches. There will be nice hard sections, and some super loose sections almost guaranteed. Tire choice is up to the individual.

Oh... and I hope this posts... the profile:

Ricoh Copies that...

When will a map be posted?

WE'll have an LCR sag wagon with full on IV support...

Did you get the Goat and my entries yet???

MY CF connection claims he mailed in his info... Pete "TT" Bell is the handle...

Got your entry (and the Goat's) today. Haven't seen Pete's yet.

We still haven't decided if we'll give out maps ahead of time. It's easier to plan if the maps are all out there. But it's also easier to go on recon mission if you copy....

The Ragnarok brain trust is having a defacto meeting (while spinning on the trainers) tonight. I'll let you know either way if we're providing a map ahead of time or not.

Do you know the total elevation climbed for the course?
