We are honored to be able to put this race on again this year. There will be no collegiate races so we hope to accommodate a large showing of USCF racers. Without the collegiate fields, we can plan to offer an additional Masters field and also adjust the start times to make it a little easier for those traveling from down south.
WE PROMISE NO SNOW!
Please come and support the WWU Team on this awesome course with 575' of gain per 8 mile lap. We will be updating the new start times and fields ASAP please be patient. Many of us are traveling to Nationals in the coming weeks and are quite busy!

Field Caveats:
~ Men's 4-5 field limited to first 75 registered. If number of
registered exeeds we'll split the 4's and 5's. So there'll be room for
everyone.
~ Women 1-3 and Women 4 will race together but be scored
seperately.
~ Field minimum of 10 or race will be combined with other
categories.
Directions: Interstate 5 goes
through the city of Bellingham.
~ Take exit #253 and turn left (east) onto Lakeway Drive.
~ Head east approx. 2 miles and turn left on Electric Ave.
~ Proceed straight through the four way stops along North Shore Dr. to Agate Bay.
Registration & Staging:
Opens at 7:30 a.m. race day only. Come to the Agate Bay Volunteer Fire
Station at the intersection of North Shore and Y Rd. Registration
closes 15 minutes prior to the start of each race.
Cost: Our race costs $25 (US or
CAD). Please bring exact change if possible or a check. This includes
the $2 USAC insurance surcharge.
This is a major WWU Cycling team fundraiser. We appreciate your support
of collegiate cycling!
Licensing: This event is
permitted by USA Cycling. Riders must have a valid USCF licence.
One-day licences will be available ($10) for Cat 5 men and Cat 4 women.
Canadians need to have an international licence to race. One-day
licences are not available for Canadian riders unless they do not
currently have a Canadian licence. OBRA riders can use the 1-day
licence up to Cat 3.

Be sure to affix your frame number to your bike.
Rental numbers available at the race for a $10 rental fee ($5 is
refundable).

Parking & Warmups: There is
space beyond registration on North Shore Rd., including the
shoulders and a spacious grass field at 2552 N. Shore Rd.
Please park completely off the road and be respectful of private spaces.
Please warm up on North Shore Rd., not the course.
Neutral Roll-out: Your first
trip up the hill on Agate Bay Rd. is part of your warm-up, not the
race. Lap count is ZERO until you are .5K past Jensen Rd.
Feed Zone: is on the Y Rd.
between Henderson and Jensen Rd. along the large hill. Please do not
park on the shoulder the riders are using. Do not expect neutral feed.
Finish: The final 100 m. exits
the main loop at Jensen Rd to finish on a short, steep hill in front of
Rainbow
Auto Service. There is a restroom here and space for spectators and
racers, but limited parking. Racers will have the whole road for the
final 200 m.
Prizes: Listed above with the
start times. These can be picked up at registration once results are
finalized.
