RAMROD Packet Pickup & BBQ on Sunday, July 25

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

On Sunday, July 25 from Noon to 4pm we are holding a RAMROD Packet Pickup and BBQ at Sammamish Valley Cycle. This will be an opportunity for RAMROD participants to pick up their packet and t-shirt, and meet some of the RAMROD staff. RAMROD jerseys will also be available for pickup if ordered before June 1. The Director will be present to give an update on the course and to present a check to the Washington National Park Fund for all of the donations collected this year. We will also have a fundraising BBQ as we continue to raise money for Mt. Rainier National Park, so bring your family or riding buddy and come hungry.

This will also be your last opportunity to buy a ticket for the RAMROD Breakfast (Thursday morning of event). Tickets will be available online until Friday, July 23. If you are a participant or a spectator watching the send-off, this will be the easiest way to get in a yummy meal to start your day. Don’t miss out.

We also have one last RAMROD ticket to auction off. This year we will hold a live auction at the BBQ for this last RAMROD entry, bidding will begin at 2pm.

A couple final notes:

  • Be sure to bring your picture ID as it will be required for packet, t-shirt, and jersey
  • You cannot pick up packets or jerseys for someone else
  • You cannot give your bib number to someone else; if you cannot ride, please contact the Registrar
  • If you cannot make this event, your packet and jersey will be available for pickup at the Start/Finish Line in Enumclaw on Wednesday evening/Thursday morning
  • This will be a fun event and a chance to meet other riders and event staff - hope to see you there and thank you for your continued support!
