Tim Bergsten created this Ning Network.

Ascent Cycling Series riders, staff, sponsors, listen up! Race director Andy Bohlmann has something to say

Not since Mother's Day 1996 have we had this many pre-entries for a Spring race!

I had hoped to enter all new pre-entered riders into my rider e-mail address book, but I just don't have the
time.

Last update before the race:

1. At the last minute (yesterday afternoon) several course marshals

may be able to help. I need three (3) marshals from 8 AM to

about 3:30-4:00 PM or six (6) to work in shifts. Please contact me

directly if anyone is able to help. My cell is on the contact page at

2. Course set-up: Matt Benassi, our Venue Director and Allen

Beauchamps, our Chief Course Marshal will begin marking the

course at 4:30 PM today with stakes and arrows. Assistant Race

Director, Matthew Bohlmann and I will be there as well in son

Philip's red Toyota pick-up fully race ready.

Staff will arrive at dawn to close the road down to Lazy Land, put

some cones out, open the locked gates, set up the Finish line at

the upper end of the Youth Camp Rd., and set up registration and

the start area.

3. Registration: Gina (with SCS since '91!) and Matthew will open

registration at or a little before 8:00 AM in the NE corner of
the

parking lot at Maizeland and Academy (also the Start location).

Please note: We will only register the 9:00 AM start first and

when the 9:00 AM race starts, then will register the 11:00 AM start,

etc. Look for the New Kenda red canopy!!! Thanks, Jim W.!

Pre-entered riders may pick up their number with Matthew at

registration. Your numbers will be in last name alpha order.

4. First race will begin to line up at 8:45 just east of registration

5. Results will be transported from the Officials back to the registration

area and posted. Please do not bother the Officials at the Finish

line as they will be very busy scoring and doing your results.

6. Awards (medals 1st-3rd) will be awarded at the registration/start

area after the results have been posted at least 15 minutes and

after the next race starts, etc.

7. As always, helmet on, stay alert, and have fun and take care of our

most famous Park!
