USAC Course approval
This course is just west of HWY 16 (Sedgwick Road exit) near Port Orchard, WA. I will post driving directions from Tacoma as well as from the Southworth & Bremerton ferries.
Registration & start (Arrow) will be at Sidney Glen Elementary School. South on Glenwood Road, a right and a left still on Glenwood, East on Wildwood, South on Sidney, West on Minterbrook, North on Glenwood, West on Lake Helena, North on Dickenson which turns into Lake Flora then South onto Glenwood and repeat.
With a 1-mile neutral rollout and another mile until turning onto the 15.5 mile loop. The number of loops and distances will depend on race category, and will be published as soon as I finish up the race flyer (which should be posted shortly). Finish (Stop sign) will be up a short ramp on Minterbrook. Feed Zone (Guy drinking) will be on Dickenson Road.
The course has a few short hills, rollers, flats, and false flats with great to mostly good pavement (only one short section on Wildwood has a few minor potholes that I'll try to get Kitsap County Road Works guys to come out and patch); so bring your fast wheels. It will best serve the all-arounder which I think is ideal for a State Championship race.

Pretty darn close to my old training grounds when I was growing up in Port Orchard. Still ride in that area every now and then (Mother lives in McCormick Woods)
Nice Route-
So since TST is definitely cancelled, instead of Longbranch (no slight intended to my old OTB mates), why not make this your "A" race - it's a better course.
