Easterns @ UNH: Live Free or Ride Harder

[Isabella Oleksy]

Hey everyone!

Hope you're all excited for the final weekend of racing in the ECCC.  UNH has been working hard to put on a top-notch race for everyone to remember and love (in retrospect, after all the suffering is over).

SATURDAY (TTT & RR)

- Warming up in the gymnasium of the Strafford school will NOT be allowed this year.  But they have graciously allowed us to use the indoor bathrooms again and will also be providing 2 outdoor portopotties for backup with TP a'plenty so everyone is happy!

- UNH plans on hosting a little grilling fundraiser again like last year with hot dogs, hamburgers, and chips available for purchase post-race, so bring your cash!

- We will be selling Easterns T-shirts while supplies last starting Saturday.  See flyer for a preview.  Dark blue and hot pink are your color options!

- Easterns banquet will be held at Oyster River High School in Durham on Saturday night 6:30pm-8:30pm, see flyer for details.  Come hungry!! We encourage pre-reg so we can get an accurate estimate on food.  $10 pre-reg, $12 at the door. 

SUNDAY (CRIT)

- On Sunday in Durham, B-Lot (the parking lot in the middle of the crit course) will likely fill up quickly.  Parking on campus is FREE all day.  To teams with large trailers and caravans- beware UNH parking services is pretty ruthless and will probably ticket you for any creative parking maneuvers like parking on sidewalks and such.  You've been warned.  We recommend having a campus map handy [1]!

- We plan on holding a Women 4, Masters 35+, and Men P123 races after the collegiate races on Sunday.  Please pre-register for these events, as we are refunding entry fees if we do not receive at least 30 entrants for each race.  There will be pretty generous cash prizes as well as cash primes, see bikereg [2] for info.  Signing up for an second race is a mere $10 extra!!  Compared to $30 for non-collegiate racers. 

- Pre-reg closes on Thursday at 10pm for both bikereg and team spreadsheets.

See you all this Saturday!
