Falls City Firecracker
Sunday July 6th
Course: 3.5-mile loop with 800 feet of climbing. All of the climbing is on gravel
road. The descent is on my favorite single track in the state. It is not a “roadie” course.
Please be advised that there are some short, but extremely steep sections.
Registration will open at 8:00 am.
Beg and Sports will start at 10:00 am. Beginners will do 3 laps and sports will
do 4. Awards for the top 3 in each class.
Experts/Elites/Pro’s start around noon, after the course is clear of the
morning racers. Experts will do 5 laps and Elite/pro will do 7. Cash for the
top 5 Elite/pro men and 3 Elite/Pro Women
Parking is in the soccer field at Camp Tapawingo. The camp has requested that
you leave your dogs and guns at home. Please respect this request so we will
have access to this facility next year.
Directions: From Portland take I-5 south to the Salem Parkway exit #260-B. Follow
the signs to city center. You will be looking for the signs to Dallas/Ocean Beaches.
You want to head west over the Marion Street Bridge and immediately get into
one of the left 2 lanes. This will put you onto hwy 22. Follow hwy 22 for about
10 miles. You will take a left at the Dallas junction. About 4 miles later you
will be in Dallas, following signs to hwy 223/Kings Valley. Head through town
and turn right on Washington Street (still following Kings Valley/hwy 223 signs).
At the next Y in the road, go left on Fairfield (still following signs). About
5 miles later turn right at the Falls City Junction onto Falls City Road. About
4 miles later on the west end of Falls City, the road will Y, you want to stay
right (not going over the bridge). This puts you on Mitchell St. About .3 of
a mile later the road Y’s again, stay left this time onto the gravel. About
3 miles later, you will see a sign on the right for Camp Tapawingo, just past
the sign turn right over the bridge and park in on the soccer field.
From Corvallis: North on Hwy 99, 12 miles to Airlie Road. Left on Airlie Road
to Hwy 223/Kings Valley. Right on 223 looking for the Falls City Junction where
you will turn left (west onto Falls City Road). Then same as above.
