Fixed.

We can still use another couple volunteers. If anyone would like to help out it would be greatly appreciated. Wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/kids/injured riders?

I was hoping my girlfriend could volunteer but once again it looks like it won't work out. I hope you've found enough volunteers by now.

Fully covered and some extra hands now. Always seems like not enough replies on Tuesday then more than enough by Thursday morning.

Rode the course this morning. Executioner/Dreamweaver/St Marys is dry and looooooose. No hero traction up there. Really fun.

Executioner/DW/StM is a wicked enduro stage. It has enough little rises that have you on the pedals to keep you on the gas. Really looking forward to tonight.

* Small Course Change for tonight ***

We are going to run Stage 2 first. So you'll climb up to 6th switchback first to ride the Executioner - Dreamweaver - St Marys stage first.

Then hit Stage 3 on your way back to the water towers.

Last will be Stage 1, short climb on Roadside - Upper Griffin - Lower Griffin - KOS. Climb, push, crawl back to the water towers for apres.

That's a great change - will keep the water tower zone more lively too!

Wonder how many people will choose a hot dog over Stage 3?

No restriction from grabbing a dog prior to Stage 3, right? Get to taste it twice that way!

Can't wait! I plan to take a really, really long time on the new last stage. You know, to savour the last of the 2013 Toonies.

How can I recognize you out there? Sounds like I need to make sure I'm ahead of you :D
