Yakima Canyon Time Trial

We are planning to hold the Yakima River Canyon Time Trial on Sunday, July 12th. This will be a full 40K Time Trial with shorter distances for junior riders. We came close to getting the state time trial this year, and if we put on a good event, which we will, I'm very confident we will get the state championship event next year. The course will go from Roza Dam north 12.4 miles and return.

We will be holding a club meeting to discuss the race on Friday, November 21st at 6:00 PM at North Town Coffeehouse next to the Barrel House. If you can't make the meeting but still want to be involved email me at dgrcycling@clearwire.net. At the meeting I'm hoping to set up a race committee with volunteers filling the below positions:

Assistant Race director (future race director)
Timing coordinator
Race Day set up and control coordinator
Race day check in
volunteer coordinator
Someone to help set up online registration
Perhaps someone to help get us some xtra prize money

I'm planning to set this up as a WSBA points race. I think it is a great course, and riders will enjoy it. I'm also hoping to see a number of local riders in this race. We will not need a lot of race day volunteers for this course, so let's get out and race.

Thanks,
Damon

See you soon
