When you stage.

Warm-ups are led by a coach or a team captain and start 55 minutes before staging, so the warm-up time is the one to set an alarm for. Staging is when you need to be in the chute with your plate on and your gel eaten, not when the gun goes. Tap your wave and the fuel planner will build the rest of your morning backward from it.

Race day fuel planner Set any staging time and it builds the whole morning, with a calendar export.

Where

91 Mount Hope Cir, Eagle, CO 81631

Registration closes Monday, September 21 at noon

The League holds that deadline firmly and cannot add riders afterward. Call-up lists post on the League site by Thursday, September 24 at 5:00pm.

The course

6-mile counterclockwise laps built for the League, with moderate climbs, bridges, winding berms, rollers, and a slalom descent. 600 feet of climbing per lap, starting at 6,600 feet.

Food at the venue

Mountain Grillin serves breakfast and lunch at the venue from 7:30am to 3:00pm, so the team pit has company this time. Wheat Ridge Cyclery provides neutral mechanical support.

Weekend contest: Disco

The League's contest at Eagle is 70s style: costumes, pit design, and groovy tunes, judged on the sparkle of the pit and the outfits. The most creative team with high participation is recognized at awards.

Parking

Parking is at the race venue, first come first served, with handicap spots near the start and finish. No parking at the Eagle Pool & Ice Rink, on Field Street, or in front of businesses and homes; illegally parked cars are towed at the owner's expense.

Camping and showers

No camping at the Pool & Ice Rink or the Haymeadow lot. Eagle County BMX hosts camping at 1094 Fairgrounds Rd (RV hookups $60 a night, tents $35). The Pool & Ice Rink opens for showers Friday 3:00 to 5:00pm and Saturday noon to 4:00pm; mention the Colorado League at the desk. E-bikes are not permitted at the venue.

Middle school race first

Middle School Mayhem stages at 8:20am on the same course, ahead of our first wave, so the venue is busy from the start.
