Pre-reg is closed, and we have racers signed up from 15 states, Washington DC, and Quebec. There is still plenty of room in all the categories. Come out on race day and sign up from 7:30 to 8:30, 11 to noon, or 1:30 to 2:30. Need more motivation? All the registrants’ goody bags contain a coupon for a free parfait from our friends at Chick-fil-A of Boone.

Other news: the great volunteers from the Appalachian State Wine-to-Water Campus Chapter will be running the wheel trucks all day, so remember the spare wheels and make sure you get your race number clearly marked on each.

Come hungry: our hostesses at River Girl Fishing Co. will be selling gourmet coffee, bagels and cream cheese in the morning, and breaking out the grill in the afternoon selling hot dog and hamburger plates. All the profits are going to the Wine to Water Haiti Relief Fund.

Look pretty:  there will be a TV crew showing up for the finish of the morning races and the start of the noon races.

Weather looks perfect for this weekend! Course is going to be nice and dry, won’t be chilly in the morning, won’t be hot in the afternoon.

Due to road resurfacing work on Roby Greene Rd, Boone-Roubaix will now be starting at River Girl Fishing Company in Todd (the mid-point of the prior course) and we have re-routed the course. The Men’s Cat 3/4, Women’s P1234, Collegiate Men B and Women C races are now slightly longer, and the Women’s Cat 4 and Collegiate Women B/C and Men D are on a much flatter and considerably more paved route. We have also switched the start times for the W1234/College Woman A and the College Men C race.
There are still a ton of unpaved roads, which after this most brutal winter in the history of the High Country, will still prove to be a serious test of riders and their equipment. While Del Coffey is gone, the initial climb up Big Flatts Church is steep and slick enough to deserve Koppenburg status.
The new map and course description are posted, and we’ve updated the online registration on BikeReg. So sign up!
