Latest update

CSU is requiring us liability insurance just so we can congregate on their lawn, register, drink coffee and roll... all in just about an hour or so...

So registration will take place @ The Bike Co-op at 222 LaPorte Ave. same time, 9:AM

Who needs the oval anyways ? That's what we get for trying to be nice and do things by the book; i should 've never told 'em what we're up to....

The Co-op is a better location anyway, we'll have freshly brewed coffee, tools and supplies available for final quick adjustments, bathroom, etc.

Beware: this coming weekend is the taste of Fort Collins, so to get to the Co-op you'll have to ride among many early set-up people, be careful and don't run'em over... Let's be respectful so they won't run US over when driving !

This year's course will be by far the most fun in all 4 years of the OxSxO , scenic, low traffic, diverse terrain and lots of wildlife.
Last Saturday,while figuring out the final loop i saw a PIKA !

I'd say the bike best suited for this one will be one with hybrid tires 25-30c with a 44-46/16
combo give or take. There are many hills; not one steep but mile long. There are two sections of
"unofficial rural double track" bring a comfy saddle.

BBQ After party @ the finish line. Have your partner/ friend / lover /relative come out to bear witness,
there will be free beer for racers, others please bring drinks and grill items to share.
Ask around for the location, or wait until Saturday to find out; we need to keep it bike geeks only...

Party will start around 12:Noon and go on until about 4-ish
If feasible, we'll have the mandatory track stand / skid / tricks contest. just to dork around.

We should take off between 10-10:30 and from there it'll take a couple hours to do the loop.

Check back soon for more updates.

A good road rage-free week to all.
