* The course will be marked and we will also have maps available. The bike route will follow the course exactly but will not include the portion on Cedar Point Road as it will be busy will park traffic.

The informational flyer is available on our website and can be downloaded here. www.clevetriclub.com/

Last year we had a great turnout with over 100 people at each of these training sessions. Come out and get in a great on-the-course training day with many other people you may see on race day!

A few more notes....!

* SBR Sports is also providing samples of TRISWIM products and we will have TRISLIDE available to demo on the beach at the open water swim!

* A huge thanks to Andy Cornwell and Leah Halloran, who will be coming out to man the aid station on behalf of Spin Second Sole Multi-Sport Team in Berlin Heights.

* At the Berlin Heights aid station there will be water, cytomax and some other goodies like pretzels, cookies, fig newtons. There will also be water, cytomax and muscle milk at the finish at Sawmill Creek.

* PLEASE NOTE IT WILL BE HOT SATURDAY. There are a few gas stations along the way so if you think you will need extra fluids or may want something else, remember to bring money. (ALSO, you are responsible for your own food/drink at the Big Bear Saloon Social at the conclusion of the event so you may want money for that.)

* We are getting a lot of RSVP's in which is fabulous. It is important that people try to arrive early (7 AM) to get checked in. The swim is located about a mile from check in and it is about a 1/2 mile walk down a path from where you will park so it does take a little extra time so be sure to allow for that.

* Event will go on rain or shine!

Ken Beech will also be out marking the course tomorrow so there will be course markings to follow on Saturday as well! Thanks Ken!

We should also note that due to construction, there is an adjustment at the very start/end of the course, where we will be re-routing from last year's course. Final REV3 bike course is still under consideration but it will be the same for the most part.
