Recap and Results

Thanks all for coming out to Carver county and carving out a nice slice of gravel hot dish. These gravel rides are all different and this year it was a battle against heat and humidity. There were around 175 starters and just over 100 logged finishers. The highlight of many riders' day was getting sprayed down but a friendly bystander who was working her garden. Kudos for her! Those who took it to the next level dipped into the Minnesota River at the end of the race and dropped the core temperature properly.

Huge thanks goes out to Mike, John, Greg, and the whole crew at Michael's Cycles in Chaska. They provided a hub and much help. So much appreciated. Big thanks for Banjo Brothers, Donkey Label, and Molten Speed Wax. All quality products from truly supportive people. Much respect! We hope you enjoyed the ride and forgive us for any mistakes in the results. Thanks!!

Parking & Drop Bags

Parking:
Recommended parking areas can be found here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1X58yttxGMqxMHzD_nQGyfoloVk8&usp=sharing

Drop Bags:
The park where the drop bag site is coming up a little quicker this year at mile 44.   We will keep it running until 1:00 pm.  Drop Bags should be back at Micheal's Cycle by 1:45.  Please consider using a bag you don't need back and water bottles you aren't concerned about (we have had a lot of unclaimed items in the past).  Attach your rider number to your bag and drop it off at registration.

Numbers, Cue Sheets, GPX, Waivers, & Water

A few things here...

Numbers:
To keep registration times & costs down we would prefer if you prepare your own race number.  The blank number can be found on the second page of the Cue Sheets.  Find the number next to your number in the Final Roster post and write it on the number blank and attach it to your bike the right side on the top/down tube or front of handle bars (see photo below).  2" packaging tape, zip, or twist ties are the recommended way to do this.  We will have numbers, tape, & zip ties available at the start... But it's recommended to do this before registering.  (Feel free to trim the number a bit if needed to make it fit)

Cue Sheets:
The Cue Sheets will guide you through the course.  Some of the will be marked along the way but please use the cue sheets for course directions.  The last 6 miles of the course will be marked. All but the last 1.5 miles and the first 4 miles are not on the Cue Sheets.

Waiver:
We need a sign waiver in order for you ride this event. Again to keep registration times & costs down please have your waiver ready & signed

2016 Westside Dirty Benjamin Cue Sheets, Number Blank, & Waiver:

GPX File:
Thank you to Chris Nelson for converting our Google Map into a GPX file.  Link:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B45tutGk8I3TMlQtUWh6TzRNWFZDWU5BM2czOTZHSEY5enVj/view?usp=sharing

Water:
Due the weather forecast we would like to add additional water stop at mile 65.  There is a park there but no water fountain so we would like to bring 1 gallon jugs of water that are preferably almost frozen.  If we could get some help here it would great if about 75 people could bring a 1 gallon jug of water that was put into their freezer the night before.  This way we will hopefully have cold water available at mile 44, 65, & the finish.

2016 Race Details

The 2016 Westside Dirty Benjamin will start at Micheal's Cycles in downtown Chaska at 8:00am Saturday June 11th.

Registration will be at 6:30 - 7:45am at Micheal's Cycles 700 N Chestnut St, Chaska, MN 55318

The course will be 100 miles with the last 8 miles being marked trails. The trails are mostly flat and double track, a couple sections of paved path, and there is a short single track section that ends about 1500 feet from the finish line.

Depending on the weather the finish line may change due to weather and/or time.  The main finish line will be down by the river.  Later in the day or if it is raining the finish line may shift over to the Micheal's Cycles Parking lot, the course markings will reflect any changes to avoid any confusion.

The checkpoint is at mile 44 this year, there is one other location we are looking at a park around mile 64 but have to verify a couple things first with that location. Keep this in mind when deciding on what to pack in a drop bag if you are planning on using one.  (More on this to come)

The map is now updated.
