If you see this on a desktop web browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc on a Mac, Windows, etc), then something is amiss. There's a strange interaction going on between some browsers (especially running in private/incognito mode or with enhanced tracking protection enabled) and Club Express. Until we devise a proper fix, you can work around this problem by:
- Click here to open the SIR home page in a new tab.
- Click the blue "Member Login" link in the upper right corner.
- Enter your name and password, then click the big blue "Login" button.
- Come back to this tab (you can close the home page tab if you wish) and refresh this page.
- Hopefully all is well and you can continue with the waiver and registration process.
If you see this on a mobile device (phone or tablet) then you probably got here by clicking a link within Facebook. Our registration process does not work with the Facebook IOS integrated web browser. You'll need to open this page in a "real" (native) browser:
-
Click the ellipses (three dots) in the upper right corner of this window. You may need to scroll the page up and down slightly to encourage the ellipses to appear at the top of the screen.
-
Click "Open in external browser" in the popup menu.
-
Continue with the waiver and registration process.

Note: Summer is here and Washington is entering wildfire season. Long, mountainous events like this are subject to last-minute cancellation due to wildfires and smoke. The Northwest Interagency Coordination Center has realtime data on all active fires in the region. We will keep an eye on conditions and let everyone know ASAP if plans must change.

directly on the hotel website.
Day 1 features 365K and 5200 meters (~17000 feet) of elevation gain. Realistically, many riders will "ride through" this event, intentional or not. If you plan to sleep at the overnight, or even if you'll only have time to shower and change clothes, then please reserve a room. If possible, share a room with others, up to their maximum room capacity. Hotel operators get annoyed when we have too many people showering in a single room. Let's not wear out our welcome.
If you think you need overnight accomodations in Omak, please make your reservations ASAP. This is peak vacation season and the hotel is filling quickly.
Dropbags will be collected at the start and taken to the overnight hotel. We are still working on the details for returning the dropbags to riders after the ride.
Parking
Free public parking is available at the
Concrete Park & Ride, about 1.2K from the start/finish.
