Racer Info: Boggy Draw Beat Down | August 7th in Dolores, Colorado

Thanks for registering for the 23rd Annual Dolores Mountain Bike Race, brought to you by the

Dolores Rotary Club!

PACKET PICKUP IS ON SATURDAY STARTING AT 7AM

Packet pickup will open on Saturday, August 7th, starting at 7am and will close at 8:55am. Packet

pickup will be near the starting line next to Kokopelli Bike & Board's new Dolores location, on the

corner of 4th street and Central in Dolores (official address is 315 Central Ave, Dolores). The street

will be closed to traffic on Central Avenue between 4th & 5th street for the race, so find any available

parking and head to Flanders Park behind Town Hall in the center of town. We will have a table for

each of the four courses at packet pickup to get your racing bib number, zip ties and some swag and

stickers in a gift bag.

All the courses this year involve heading up the Dolores Hill and entering the Boggy Draw Trail

System. This year, the 60-Mile Beat Down racers will be using the newly constructed 14th Street Trail

to bring them up the switchbacks. The other 3 courses will use Road 31 for the initial climb. The 18,

33 and 60-Mile Racers will end on the McPhee Overlook Trail bringing them back into Dolores to

finish. This year, we've incorporated many of the new trails completed by the Southwest Colorado

Cycling Association (SWCCA), and are excited to have our racers experience them.

SAFETY IS OUR NUMBER 1 PRIORITY

Signs and color-coding flags will be posted at different trail intersections guiding you along your

journey. There will also be course marshals posted at various locations and an aid station for the

18-mile and up courses. The 15 course marshal stations will be labeled with circular orangenumber plates along the course. Search and Rescue will be on-hand, and we'll have 2 motorcyclists

set to do a final sweep of the course.

MAIN ROADS & TRAFFIC

The sheriff will be closing Road 31 from 9:00am - 9:20am to any north-bound traffic, but you will still

see oncoming traffic making their way southbound down the hill into Dolores. Please keep to the right

of the road and limit passing, being aware that there could still be traffic that slips by.

If your course crosses the main roads, you must yield to vehicle traffic. We will have course

marshals there to alert traffic and help, but it is your responsibility to cross safely.

13-milers: As you come back down Road 31 into town near the end of your race, be aware that traffic

will not be stopped southbound. Do not pass along the switchbacks and hug the right side of the road.

The other courses will not be coming back via Road 31.

TIMING AND SANCTION INFO

Bike Races will be timed via RFID chips through Rocky Mountain Timing, with computer monitors on

site to check your finish times, along with updates on their website and photos you can download of

yourself crossing the finish line.
