Course Comments – Woodland Park
At last, the long awaited race at Woodland Park. It is of course a hilly venue and therefore a hilly course. There are, as is usual, some changes from the course map, but the flow is essentially the same. We’ve got some grinding climbs, fast sweeping descents, a short runup, and lots of full blast riding opportunities. Really, its a lot of the elements those of you who gather to practice at Woodland are familiar with, strung together in a way to make a fun, fast race.
As always we have a double pit, a little less roomy than some we’ve had, but still plenty of room for all. We also have a long paved, uphill start stretch to string things out before getting on grass/dirt which is not part of the circuit. The finish, which was looking to be at the top of the hill, may be moved…you’ll all have to wait until Sunday to see where.
It should be fun. See y’all there.

We have 40 6-packs to give away, and here’s how we’ll do it:When pre-reg closes on Friday at 5 pm, we will randomly select 40 people from the ENTIRE pre-reg list who are 21+ in age, and your beer will be waiting at pre-registration. (Those who have already pre-registered prior to this email are of course eligible, too) You don’t even have to finish the race! No debates about placings, no waiting for final results….your beer will have your name on it Sunday morning. Alcohol, of course, is *strictly* prohibited at any city park, but you can take beer home and have your way with your Deschutes!

Race Woodland Park; end your day in a limo at Brouwer’s Cafe
Be honest: When was the last time you rode in a limo? Do you remember said trip? If you’re Brayden Buchanan, MFG series leader in the Junior 10-12 category, the answer is “last summer”.
Recently, we’ve made arrangements with our friends at Fremont Auto Detail to provide shuttle service from Woodland Park, to Brouwer’s Cafe, and back to Woodland Park during race day! The shuttle is on MFG, and tips are welcome to the driver. Shuttle begins at noon, and runs through the afternoon. So, finish your race, head down to Brouwer’s, and have a drink!!!
Brouwer’s Power Hour begins at 3 pm, and the MFG Woodland Park After Party begins at 5:30 pm. A light dinner buffet will be served until food runs out. (You are on your own for drinks!) All 21+ are welcome, and the dinner is on MFG and Brouwer’s. Hope to see you at the party, and ride that shuttle!
