What you Need to Knows for Show Low

Tour of the White Mountains

What you need to Knows

When: Race day is Saturday October 3rd
65 mile start 7:30am
35 mile start 8:30 am

Leaving Tucson: Friday October 2nd at approximately 12 noon from the Club house.

So please have all of your stuff ready to go on time.

It is going to be very cold by our desert standards so please think of this when packing. I am providing a gear list at the bottom of this so please pack accordingly. Also remember cotton kills. NO COTTON ON THE BIKE DURING THE RIDE!!!!!!!!!

Weather report as obtained on the world wide web:
Fri Hi 70 low 39
Sat Hi 69 Low 41
Sun low 41

There is a small chance of rain over the weekend so again pack smart.

Returning: Sunday mid day to be back in Tucson before dark. We are going to be camping Saturday night. That means we are camping to 2 nights.

How Much: $30--- this is your race entry fee, food and camping. This is all you need. If you are not racing then $20 is what you need. If you want to bring more for other stuff , swell good.

If you want to bring extra snacks and stuff that is great, however know that $20 covers your major meals. Bringing snacks would be GREAT, oh and you must share, or don’t bring.

HOW WE ARE GOING TO HELP:

If you are not racing on Saturday then you will help Epic rides during the race in whatever way they need. That’s right no questions asked, you are helping if you are there.

If you are racing then you will be helping Epic Rides on Sunday morning packing up their show. No questions asked.

Why: Because Epic rides is great outfit that really helps us out, and gave us 90% off to be able to race.

Of course call Daniela or myself with any question.

Hi,
In my car so far, I have Logan and Kramer and can take one more comfortably. I have a 1030am meeting at work after which I have to pick up Logan. Whoever goes in my car, we will most likely leave close to 1pm.
Igancio, let's talk on the phone with the details. Also, please, I need a mat and a place to lay my head (I'm borrowing a sleeping bag from Judith).
Thanks!

Hey!

We have room for 2 more riders and some gear (and bikes if needed) is Chad driving the truck? (need to borrow bike rack if not...) We are planning on meeting Kathleen at the clubhouse to leave by 1:00. Call me if you need, Ignacio or Daniella. Otherwise we will see you there.
