Make your first right after you pull into camp and follow the signs for camp Wheeler. Please do not exceed 20mph, it is a Boy Scout camp with a lot of folks and campers around.

Post up if you have any questions.

Probably cat 2/3, Maybe both. Definitely getting up there. This race is gonna be great! Try your best to make it, you won't be disappointed!

For Thursday, try to be ready to roll as close to 5 as possible. We'll have a steady quick pace on the first lap. No drops though.

Second lap is going to hurt. But the course will be cleared and easy to follow so feel free to hang on as long as you want.

You will be the first in history to be DQ’ed on a pre-ride.
Badge of honor really.

The pre-ride is a set start time, the reason being that the course has no arrows or tape, it's not marked. If you get there late and know where the trail head is you could follow the dirt(the course is leaf free after blowing it off) but you probably don't know where the trail head is and besides it's more fun to join in a pre ride as a group. Tell your boss you're leaving early that day, make arrangements to have someone walk the dog, come join in the ride together, it will be fun

@MissJR @Santapez are leading Wednesday.
@jShort @UtahJoe are leading Thursday.
