Directions
Pre-Ride
We recommend that all riders pre-ride the course, ride with others
and wear your race plate (this is how we identify riders in case of
emergency.)
Saturday pre-ride will be from 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM, and on race day
(Sunday) from 7:30 AM to 9:00 AM.
All girl riders are invited to a #girlboss group ride of the course on
Saturday starting at 4:00 PM.
Only registered students and coaches may pre-ride.
Neutral Support
Neutral support is brought to you by Methow Cycle and Sport! Neutral
support mechanics will be on hand to provide free mechanical
assistance for any student-rider with a bicycle emergency. Studentriders are expected to come to each race with a fully functional, race
ready bicycle.
Camping & Lodging
For a camping option, 50 sites are available at the Liberty Bell High
School for $20 a night both Friday and Saturday. This is at the site
of the race, with porta potties available.
Contact [email protected] if you’re interested.
Otherwise, the best way to find a room, cabin or house to rent in the
Methow is to go through Methow Reservations.
Parking
Parking will be available in the high school parking lot.
