Fat Fish #5 - Mosteller
Crossing
|
Mosteller Ranch is a hidden
gem on the east end of Casper Mountain. Be prepared to get your feet wet on
this ride as there will be up to 7 creek crossings per lap. We will be keeping the course short
and sweet with minimal climbing.
We want all riders to finish in about an hour so they can participate
(or at least root for your buddies) in the second annual Fat Fish Foot
Down Competition. There will
be extra incentive for all racers to participate in the Foot Down competition. Course description and information
can be found below. Lastly, live
music will be provided by folk musician Jami Lynn out of Rapid City, SD.
Keep in mind that the
Mosteller Ranch race is entirely on private property. Besides being kind to the private
land, if you see the land owners out working say hi and give a wave :-). The
day of the race is the only day you can ride this course. Please respect the land owners by driving
the speed limit on all roads (and carpool if possible to keep traffic and
dust down), staying on existing trail, and keep your dogs under control.
There will not be restrooms
on site so please plan accordingly.
Additional thoughts;
Mosquitoes and horse flys can be very bothersome this time of year, bring
your bug spray. Snakes have been
seen in the area so please do not wander off the trails. Bring an extra pair of socks, dry
shoes and a camp chair to enjoy the music by Jami Lynn while the evening
winds down!
