Tunnel of Death

Also, we set up the course tonight.  We added a section that I believe is my favorite section on a cyclocross course I have ever seen... "The Tunnel of Death".  You have to check it out.

Hot showers

Just letting everyone know we will have hot showers at the Fairgrounds for after the race.

Course is in great shape

Everything looks great for the race!!!!  We had some rain here in Helena just to make everything pretty hard packed.  Course looks fast with run ups abounding.  Come and enjoy the weekend with beer, food, clinic, and bike demo.  See you there.

Keg of Beer

We will have a keg of beer for Saturday and what is left over we will drink on Sunday.  Course is in great shape.  It is fast with around four or five short run ups.  We will actually go through the bleachers section where fans can see most of the course.  A map of the course will follow soon.

If you need a Hotel. . .

The Hampton Inn, 725 Carter Drive, Helena, MT 59601 (corner of Carter Drive and Highway 12 east of Wal-mart) set aside some rooms. They gave us a group rate of $84. Anyone who needs to stay can call the hotel at 406.443.5800 and mention the group name Helena Cycle Cross.

Bike Demo

We will have both bike shops in town, Big Sky Cyclery and Great Divide Cyclery, bring a couple of their cross bikes down to the race for everyone to check out.  There should be both Giant and Specialized for everyone to gaze at or take out for a spin.

Day One

Helena is going to step it up this year for cross.  Montana Velo and Great Divide have big plans in the works for our races.  So far we have tentatively planned a bike demo, new rider's clinic, and one big party accompanied by food and beverages for all.  Hope to see you there and more info to come in the following days.
