Bring a pump and a spare, there may be no follow vehicles. Neutral Support Vehicles Needed: Bring along someone to do it, and receive a free entry (contact us first).   See notes below for more rules, and use toilet facilities. Last year 4 riders were DQ’ed for urinating elsewhere.

Parking/Registration: When you come off the freeway (Hwy 5, Yolo exit), the main parking area is the large gravel lot on the right just after Road 99W (stop sign). Portable toilets are here, (USE THEM!) and the start will be here. Do not park along 99W or road 17 at all. However, registration is several blocks away. After the RR tracks, turn right on the first street (becomes Sacramento street), and follow it through a jog to a right turn onto 2nd Street. Registration is at Cache Creek High School, at 2nd and Clay. There are lawns, water, and flush toilets here, and street parking. Results will be here as well. There is a market in town, on First Street, one block farther east, and open at 8 a.m. No gas station in Yolo. There is a restaurant across the tracks from the main parking area. Do not warm up where the signs say not to, and pay attention to trucks and other traffic and emergency vehicles, unlike last year; please ride single filw when any cars are around. Also, after finishing, you must ride single file back to Yolo; violators may be disqualified. Remember, cars and especially emergency vehicles still need to get through, too.

Feed Zones:   There are two feed zones on the course. The first is on Road 19,  1/2 mile west of road 95B (first hill on course). Park on the gravel away from the road on the right alongside the vineyard at the bottom of the hill. This feed zone is only a few miles into the race, so won't be much help for the one-lap racers, but we'll need help handing up neutral bottles. You'll be on the course out to the feed zone, following Road 17 west, then left on road 95A, and right (straight) on Road 19 to the feed.
