Port Angeles Super-D Post-Poned

With great disappointment, ODS must postpone the Super-D race scheduled for Feb 22nd. I went up this morning to survey the snow situation, and it wasn’t good. We’re really bummed because we were stoked to turn people on to some other trails Port Angeles has to offer. Additionally, I went up to our back-up venue (the top of Dry Hill), and it was also impassable for any type of shuttle truck we could think of. The slight good news is that we will have more time to potential incorporate our race with Capitol Forest, which was talked about, but not set-up. Please keep an eye out for one in the future.

Location Change for tonights ODS meeting

The meeting tonight will be at Summer and Cara's house 3803 C ST. ext. If you need to be directed just give me a call 461-4674 - See you there !

Super D Dooper!!!!!


PORT ANGELES SUPER-D
ANOTHER Olympicdirtsociety PRODUCTION

DATE: FEB. 22ND:
TIME: Practice @ 9AM, Racing @ 11AM(approx.)
COST: $30, Includes practice, racing, and lunch.
LOCATION/DIRECTIONS: This will be on the Foothills trails, south of Port Angeles. Follow Hwy 101 into town, go L on Lincoln St., past Albertsons take a R at the next light. At stop sign go L onto Black Diamond Rd. Follow for about 3-4 miles to Lake Dawn Rd., go L (turns into a dirt road). Follow about ½ mile and take your first road to the left.
COURSE: The course will be mostly downhill (as you might expect), with couple of mellow climbs and one steep one. It ends with about 1.5 mile fast downhill. Approx 4 miles long, and very fast and flowy.

This is a cross-country trail system that you can access anytime to practice as well, but shuttles will be limited to Sunday morning at this point. Course prep help on Saturday might(?) include a run or two, but only if you contact us prior to the weekend.

This is the epitome of grass-roots racing, so, no license required, just sign a waiver, and if you are under 18, you must have a guardian to sign your waiver as well.

Volunteers will be needed, so if you have any interest or know someone, please contact us via olympicdirtsociety@yahoo.com

Special Thanks to the WA Dept. of Natural Resources for the use of these killer trails.
