I was just wondering how long the races will last? Since we have a couple hour drive I don't think we will get there right at 9:30.

We brought our own last year as they weren't selling it on site. Got no hassles and we weren't the only ones that thought ahead.

Piece of cake (or pie)

I-25 south to Woodman (which is about a mile south of the North Academy Blvd exit).

East on Woodman approx. 6 miles to Powers Blvd.

South on Powers approx. 4 miles to Platte Ave.

East on Platte Ave and look for the sign to Hwy.94

East on 94 about 8-9 miles and it will be on your left.

In the above post, where you end up on Hwy 94 coming off Platte Ave, etc. Those are directions to the event, correct?

I'd hate to show up at a campground...........

Thanks!
