I wanted to remind everyone to get the FORC Side Thrill Ride on their calendars for July 13. Save a few bucks and make life easier on the FORC volunteer staff by pre-registering on USA Cycling. This event will be timed by the fine folks at PAMBA, so don’t forget your season number plate if you are registered for the Illinois Series!

This is going to be a great event on top notch trails that are fun and challenging for riders of ALL skill levels. You don’t want to miss out on your opportunity to rail the wood berms on Jubilee Trail in front the rowdy FORC’n faithful, or fly through the sweeping corners and fun drops on Kickapoo Down as you approach the finish line! We will have a handful of Kenda Tires along with SWAG from our awesome bike shops in the area to give away to racers. SWAG is given away at registration using the colored token lottery system (for different levels of prizes), so the earlier you arrive the better the selection will be!

Camping is not available at Sunderbruch park, but there are a few campgrounds in the area.

West Lake Park is the closest to SBP: http://www.scottcountyiowa.com/conse.../west_lake.php

Scott County Park is home to another FORC trail system: http://www.scottcountyiowa.com/conservation/scottco.php

Buffalo Shores is another option right along the Mississippi River: http://www.scottcountyiowa.com/conservation/bshores.php

Looking forward to seeing everyone there in a couple weeks!
