To get yourself to Grants on Sunday, I suggest the freeway.

Be ready for a challenging day, maybe in the breakaway.

I predict you’ll be thrilled with your exciting playday as you reach the finishing byway.

You can still register in person:

Tonight from 4-7pm in Grants at the Junkyard Brewery

Tomorrow morning 6-6:30 am in Grants at the Junkyard Brewery

The course will be marked with pink flagging tape on signs, fences and trees. Follow the tape! There will also be a tall purple flag sign for the long loop participants at the first turn onto the first dirt sector, and for everyone riding back to Junkyard Brewery (left onto Sakelares Blvd) However, I'll also have maps and cue sheets for participants at the Junkyard Brewery, or you can print your own cue sheet. But remember, the tape is more reliable than the cue sheet! Info below.

Thanks,

Jennifer
