Live band - The Bottle Rockets will be playing during and/or after the race.

The Bottle Rockets are maybe best described as a guitar surf-rock band,

or to put it another way they are a great party band.

Bass player and former Olympia Cycle & Ski shop mechanic Greg, and his fellow Bottle Rocket band mates,

will entertain us and keep the adrenaline flowing throughout the event.

Virtually any type of bike is permitted to participate in this event, whether it's a cyclocross specific bike, a mountain bike (rigid, hardtail, dualie, single speed, multispeed, whatever), or even a road bike outfitted with some beefy tires) and all levels of participants, both inexperienced newbies and seasoned veterans, are invited.

We're hiring a great band to play during and/or after the event, and much the same as the last two years we're serving an informal meal of chili and hot drinks in the community centre following the races.

We're getting excited, and we hope you are too.  Good luck at all of the other great cyclocross races this season, and see you on October 4th!   (back to top)
