Logistics – Shuttles – Rules:

Race packet pick-up will be at the Chile Pepper Bike Shop
beginning Thursday, October 29th and ending on Saturday
evening at 6pm, October 31st, 2009.  A pre-race meeting is
scheduled for 12pm on race day at the Porcupine Trail head,
Sunday, November 1st, 2009.  Racers will need to make their way
from town to the trail head.  If you are a racer that will be in need
of a shuttle from town, then please contact Chile Pepper so we
can make the necessary arrangements.  Shuttles from town are an
extra expense and racers will be required to pay the shuttle
company directly ($10/person). Shuttles will begin taking racers
and bikes from the parking area at Porcupine Rim Trail on Sand
Flats Road to the race start at 12:30pm following the race
meeting.  Racers will be shuttled in order of class with sport riders
racing first (this shuttle is provided as part of your race fee).  ONLY
racers will be allowed on shuttle vehicles.  Spectators can make
there way up course from the bottom of Porcupine Rim Trail. (We
are discouraging spectators from driving up to the LPS trail head
due to the very limited parking at the start point of the race.)  
The race will start at approximately 1pm.  

Course marshals will be positioned along the trail as well as
emergency personnel. The LPS portion of the race is a single-track
trail and will be marked with course tape.  Racers will be
immediately disqualified for going off course or by intentionally
breaking through course tape to pass.  We have to minimize
resource damage along this trail corridor and there will be no
tolerance for misconduct or intentional trail damage.  It is important
for racers to heed this rule if we want to be permitted to continue
to use this race course in the future.

NO PRACTICE RUNS allowed on race day.  This trail is a VERY
busy trail that will be utilized by the general public the morning of
the race.  We have specifically set the race times to not interfere
with folks who will be riding the trail that morning.  If you want to
pre-ride the course prior to race day, you may do so, but keep in
mind that this is an open trail and there will be no emergency
personnel or course marshals present and the trail will have the
general public present.  Proper trail etiquette must be observed.  
There will be a shuttle vehicle available at the Porcupine Rim Trail
head on Friday and Saturday afternoon from 1pm to 3pm to
provide transportation and the shuttle fee will be paid directly to
the shuttle driver at $10/person.

Award ceremonies for the Super D and DH race will take
place at Chile Pepper Bike Shop at 5:30pm on Sunday,
11/1/09.
