From what I've heard, some weird stuff happened to lead to that change. However, the people of Penticton are awesome and love having the race there, so it will definitely be a top-notch experience! Although, I think 3000 athletes is waaayy too many, especially if they are adding 500 teams! DH did the race in 2007 with 2800 athletes and he said the course was way too crowded...you can't help but ride in groups.

It sounds like they will be doing it in wave starts. Not sure if that will make a difference or not. I just emailed the company because I don't see any info in their site about online registration! This chick wants in!!

Yeah, it may take a while to get the registration up and going. They don't usually do it until after the race anyway. Keep an eye out on their Facebook page though!

Wave starts... hmmm... wonder what that will do to the cutoff times?
