2003 Knee Knacker - Really Last Minute Instructions

July 6^th, 2003

Just thought I'd remind everyone of a couple of important procedures for this coming weekend's event. But before I do, please let me tell you of a couple of new things you should be aware of this year:

• Pay parking ($5) is now in effect at BC Parks, i.e. Cypress Bowl and Mount Seymour Road. What this means is that your crew/supporters must purchase parking tickets at these locations. We are still attempting to get an exemption from BC Parks for race day, and will let you know if this comes through in time.
   
• The Grouse Mountain World Cup Mountain Bike race is taking place the same day as our race this year. Be especially careful and aware of traffic on Nancy Greene Way, between Cleveland Dam and the bottom of the Skyride (that lovely 1 mile stretch of pavement that climbs 500 feet between miles 15 and 16).
   

Now for the nagging reminders:

1. There is absolutely NO day-of-race registration. If you have not picked up your race packet and registered by Friday night (July 11th), you will not be in the race. Please bring along picture identification, as we will be attaching a plastic medical wristband to your wrist once we have correctly identified you as the registered runner. If you have someone else picking up your race package, you MUST produce picture identification prior to the race Saturday morning.
    
2. Your entry is NOT transferable, i.e. you cannot sell or give it away to anyone else.
    

See you very shortly!
