DeltaTech Industrial Park :: Ferndale, WA
NOTE: the clocks fall back on Sunday! This just means you have an extra hour to party on Saturday.
Location brought to you by Traitor Cycles. Course building, day-of race mechanical support, and prizes for overall series brought to you by the Jack's Bicycle/Homegrown Racing team.
Riders will be called up to the start line separated into two groups, Canucks and Yanks, and within those groups according to series overall standing (after the two October races). A coin will be flipped to determine which country gets the inside/outside line into the hole shot corner (something else will be flipped to determine if that coin is a Sacajawea or a Loonie).
At the end of the day, points will be tallied for each country based on their Top 3 finishing riders in each category according to our points system. The winning country will be awarded a trophy on Sunday, to be housed by that country's designated representative until the following year.
In the States, your trophy house would be Donkelope Bikes.
In Canada, your trophy house would be Mighty Riders.
It is strongly suggested the host throw at least one after-party at their location during the remainder of the 'cross season so the award can be properly viewed and enjoyed.
In the future, we would like to split up the double-header to hold one race on each side of the border. We have been in discussions with several promoters with nearby venues to the north that could make this a fantastic but fair challenge to both sides.
This course has pavement, grass, a sand pit, some dirt jumps, and even singletrack trail. We'll be having a grand day out on Grandview near the offices of Traitor Cycles and Transition Bikes.
Here is the course map with all the amazing features and support you will find on race day. Driving directions are below.
Here is the event waiver. You will need to complete one for each day, even for the kids race!
Here is last year's Google map, which you can zoom out to see the general location:
