I went out to the trails again last night and ran every trail we'll be using on Saturday. The markers are still up. Not much has changed. We groomed the trail last weekend as much as we felt necessary, and some of that is growing back, but should be ok for the weekend. Some of the corners are getting pretty sandy, and if we don't get rain right before the race, you're probably going to bury your front wheel and wash out if you don't slow down.
Remember, there is a place where the trail splits. The run will go off the main trail to the right up a rocky hill, and the bike continues straight on the main trail. We'll have a volunteer at that point to direct you. (You'll also have the aid of following the pink flamingoes on the run.) After the next creek crossing the run will continue straight and around to your right, and the bike will take a hard left. There will be volunteers at this point as well. Shouldn't be any problems.
The dam road is closed at highway 51. So make sure you take hwy 412 and get off at the Keystone State Park exit (it has construction signs on it). Go across the dam and look for Old Hwy 51 on your left. If you get to the construction and the entrance to Keystone State Park, you went too far. We'll have signage up on race day to direct you. The parking lot is right after the turn onto Old Hwy 51.
I can't think of anything else to tell you right now. Check back later.
