Note to pre-registered riders: We are a bit behind sending confirmations and updating teh online list due to the busy weekend (Beauce and MTB Nationals coverage). EVERYONE who registered online WILL receive a confimation.... if not, it is because your internet provider bounced it back (Sprint, universities and gov't are especially bad).
