Trail Conditions
As of Jun 20: We will definitely use the regular course. High temps forecasted this week will melt enough snow. Expect a good glissade and plenty of mud. Temps maybe up to 90! Still a lot of snow in the north facing side of Bostwicks though a bare edge is beginning to show. South facing Bostwicks are clear again. Truman is clear to the Bostwicks. Haven't heard anything new about Middle Cottonwood to Sypes except that there is no avalanche this year. Flowers are spectacular so we hope they last till June 23!
Remainders:
Hopefully you know there will be no race packets sent out. You will pick up race packets including numbers at the start at Middle Cottonwood Trailhead. Directions are at the Race Info page. Be sure to arrive at the race start by 5:30 AM in order to get your race number and organize drop bags. Parking will be very tight along the road as you approach the trail head. Pull off far enough for people to get by you. There will be only one porta-john – you should be prepared to use the woods if in a hurry.
Post-race party is at 6:30 at Lindly Pavilion. Go east on Main Street towards Billings, up the hill past the first Exxon, turn right on Buttonwood at the park near the top with a horse and rider statue. You can go past the statue and turn right on Cyprus too. Free pizza (five pizza's will have green peppers and cheese, while 20 will have various meats) and excellent beer from Bozeman Brewery plus water and pop .
