Cascade 1200 Registration Opens February 1

Is a 1200k in your plans this year? The Cascade 1200 is one of three 1200k's offered in the US in 2010, and is a well-designed, well-supported, very scenic event. The website has announced registration opening on February 1, with riders accommodated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Details will be emerging on what registration entails, how the waiting list will be managed, qualification requirements, etc. In the past, the Cascade has required riders to have completed a Super-Randonneur series in the recent past, not necessarily in the year of the event.

I rode the Cascade in 2008 and can heartily recommend it. I'll be putting together some "rider perspective" notes, recollections, and tips ... stay tuned. If you have questions about this year's event, you may contact the ride director.
