I have updated this year's route with what should be the near-final routing, plus annotations for checkpoints and services in the RWGPS cue sheet. This link is now posted on the Last Chance web page.
There will probably still be a separate Services section on the 2022 Rider Info page.
The 1000k brevet option is slated to finish in Brush, 9 miles east of the third overnight, in Fort Morgan.
Last Chance Jerseys and Vests - We're offering our traditional design, including short sleeved and long sleeved jerseys, wind vests and thermal vests, plus a choice of fabric types. These will be produced once again by Voler, who has always served us well. The pricing is pretty good, including a 15% discount for being part of the RUSA family of regions.
There will be one ordering deadline (9/18/2022), a week after the event, as some riders want the jersey as a token of finishing. We need a 25-piece minimum to get the order fulfilled. (We'll also be offering this to past Last Chance riders.) You can change or cancel your order any time before the deadline. Here is the Voler Last Chance page for perusing and ordering.
Ft. Morgan Third Overnight - Our support volunteers and drop bags will be at the Hampton Inn in Ft. Morgan for the third overnight. If you plan to stay there, you can book reservations with the hotel. There are also other hotels nearby.
Rooming Partners - If you would like to room with a specific rider, let us know, as one of you has already.
A Small Event - At this point there are nine registrants, so now a rather small event. We can expect some further withdrawals, but also some new registrants. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
A reminder that you can see prior updates on the Last Chance Blog.
Happy high season training!

Louisville Lodging - The event will start and finish at our traditional 1200k host hotel, the Louisville Quality Inn. We have made arrangements for a block of rooms at a favorable rate for this area, $99 for a single king-sized bed, and $119 for two queen-sized beds. These are for the nights of 9/6 and 9/7 (checking out 9/8) and the night of 9/11. We have usually had use of their conference room for storing your luggage including bike bags.
