Race
as of
3/12 a.m.: Madera Wait Lists: Note: You
may have moved up into the race from the wait list even if your name is still on
the wait list. (you will need to bring the fee to registration). Check at the
end of the registered athletes list for your category at www.sportsbaseonline.com.
We have moved 2 1/2/Pros, 1 Cat 3, 5 Cat 4, 3 Mast 35+1/2/3, 5 Mst 35+ 4/5 and 5
Mst 45+ up., That means that the wait list for the remaining riders is that much
shorter, even though SBO says it still has the moved-up riders on the wait list.
You take your chances in coming to the race, but there is a chance. If
you show up after registration closes for your category, you are out of the
race, whether you are on the list or not.
