One step over the line...


Greetings Racers...


A few notes from the first race:



  • Yellow line rule is in effect. DO NOT CROSS THE YELLOW LINE! This is for the safety of you and the peleton. THIS INCLUDES THE FINISH!

  • The Training Races are a "First across the line, wins" race. The racers are staggered to even out the competition. If a racer from the "B" group catches riders from the "C" group riders from BOTH the "B" and "C" groups can work together.

If you have any questions feel free to contact Jed.

And the winner is....



Thanks to all the participants who raced last week! We had over 80 racers, which makes this event the largest bike race in the Northwest for Big Dipper ice cream! There has been a little confusion of placing folks after the winner so preliminary results are as follows:




1. David Hamer (winner of Big Dipper gift card)


2. Dan Cunkelman


3. Megan Slivka (winner of Big Dipper gift card)


4. Britt Penner


5. Bryan Johnson
