For 8 Hours of Labor race info and online registration go to Homestake Lodge web site. They have all info.

Thanks,

Bob

the jpg for the poster is unreadable to me at any size, is there a way to put up one we can read? how long is the course? map? what time is the start, etc?

Hi Racers and Volunteers-
I made it back from my training with Blackbottoms in SLC. Great week. Best part I was able to visit with Levi for longer than most media get. Spoke to George Hincapie, and bumped into some Butte 100 Racers and those who plan on to make the trip up next year.
I will be getting a computer shipped to me soon. My access is still limitted. I appreciate everyone for your patience on my response time.
T-shirts- I picked them up today. An easy way to get these out to some would be if you plan on racing 8 Hours of Labor. TRP will have them at the race and if one person is from your hometown we will send a few with them.

Blackbottoms will have the jerseys mailed to me right after Labor Day. It was a small order so they are being shipped with a larger one. Save money.

Volunteers- thanks again and most of you know that TRP is having a thank you Sept 26th Mac River Pizza 6:30.

Everyone- TRP as you know is working on the 5th Annual Butte 100. Collecting your ideas and will be recruiting Chairs to fill key positions.

Thank YOU!
Gina

I have my wheel thanks!

Hello,

I believe I may have left my front wheel in the car or the nice lady from Hood River who gave me a ride after my bike fell apart. It is a Scoot/Shimano hub with a mavic rim with a Kenda Karma tire. Has anyone seen it? Or do you know the lady who gave me the ride she is originally from Butte and was supporting her Husband who was riding in the 50 miler.

Thanks

This was my second year doing the fifty and it was definitely tougher. I defy anyone to come up with a harder more enjoyable 50 mile one loop race course. It's an epic course with endless single-track. I respect anyone who can finish it, let alone "race" it. Thanks to all who help put this race together. I'll be coming back every year. Long Live the Butte 50!!!!
