We're incredibly psyched with how well the first two races have gone! We hope you are, too!

See you tomorrow, 9 a.m. sharp, at Whitefish Mountain Resort!

How do I get there?

Were you wondering how you're going to get to the trailheads? Probably. Here's how.

Stage 1 at the South Beaver Lake Trailhead of the Whitefish Trail: Drive for eight miles north (toward Eureka) out of downtown Whitefish on 93, make a right onto Beaver Lake Rd. Drive for two miles and you'll see the staging area.

Stage 2 at Bill's Creek/Reid-Divide: Drive for about five miles north (toward Eureka) out of downtown Whitefish on 93, make a left to Twin Bridges Rd. Drive for three miles (Twin Bridges will turn into Lodgepole Rd.) and make a right onto Farm to Market Rd. Drive for one mile and make a left to Tally Lake Rd. Drive five miles up Tally Lake Rd. and make a left to Mountain Meadow Rd./NF-5424. Drive for about a half-mile and you'll see the staging area in the gravel pit.

Stage 3 at Big Mountain/Whitefish Mountain Resort: From the middle of downtown Whitefish, drive north on Wisconsin Ave. for three miles and make a right onto Big Mountain Rd. Drive for six miles to the top of the resort village. The staging area will be in the top parking lot past the Bierstube.

See ya tomorrow!

Stage 3, Big Mountain at Whitefish Mountain Resort

Stage 3: Big Mountain at Whitefish Mountain Resort, a 5.2-mile loop with 708 feet of climbing per lap. Sunday, August 5, a 9 a.m. start, the course is located about 15 minutes north of downtown Whitefish.

Did we forget to post the Stage 3 profile? Or were we just keeping you guessing? We guess you'll never know ... 

Our friends at Whitefish Mountain Resort have graciously agreed to host Stage 3 of the Hellroaring Stage Race. Thanks, WMR!

Like the time trial, there isn't a lot that needs to be said for a 5.2-mile loop: Get there an hour early and pre-ride the course!

We will tell you this: You get to descend half of the Summit Trail, some of the most fun down-hill the Flathead Valley has to offer.

Cat. 1s will do four laps; Cat 2s will do three; Cat. 3s will do two laps.

Get ready to race! See you Friday night!
