Shuttles:

Shuttles… Shuttles!!!!! Heck no we got a lift!!! Hemlock will be staffing and manning the Sasquatch Chair for the race course.

Registration:

Registration will take place at the Lodge area at the base of the race course. Make sure you are super nice to the lovely ladies there, or they may just cancel your registration. You will be getting a Racer Package with valuable information; we suggest that you read it. This year there will be no paper copies of the racer kits, we will be forwarding you all the information that you need when you register. Too many trees get cut down so we are attempting to reduce the impact on the environment by sending you all the information that you need to your email.

Food:

Hemlock resort will be providing ample BBQ services and pub services throughout the weekend!!!! The pub will not be open till 11am due to “laws”. Remember you basically are in the middle of no-where so bring ample food and water to maintain you athletic physic.

3 Minute Gaps

Dan Barham

Camp of Champions-Air Bag

The good guys at Camp of Champions will be there to provide you riders, free of charge a chance to have your go at the Air Bag. That is right, all weekend you will be able to try your best back flip, front flip, belly flop onto the world’s largest air bag. (Dn’t quote me on the world’s largest bit)

Cycle Component Network SPEED TRAP!

There is a relatively straight section of trail coming into the new hip jump at the lower 1/4 of the course. There you will find the CCN SPEED TRAP! That is right, an honest to goodness Police certified radar gun complete with digital display. You will be able to see first hand just how fast, or slow you were going. Don't worry though; Rocky Mountain Fro-Rider Brett Tippie will be in the "living room" to heckle you if you didn't get to see it.
