Camp Masher to locate at Heritage Park

The "Home Team" will base at Heritage Park for Round Up Ride 2009. This is significant as most cyclists camping in RV's must park at various other locations throughout Florence. This puts the Mashers right in the middle of the event.

We camped last year in the parking lot of Main Street Family Practice and Desert Springs Water & Ice, about a mile south of Heritage Park. We had access to rest rooms and 15 amp power service for RV's. However, the road noise on South Main kept several riders awake at night.

Out of town riders will benefit from us locating at the park. The Mashers will staff a "local information" table and have agreed to help organizers when local resources are needed. We want our visitors to feel welcome and have easy access to local resources. If visitors have a good experience, they will come back for visits and recruit other riders.

Although we won't have access to three restrooms, we will be near the bank of portapotties and have toilets in RV's. In addition, after ride showers will be more accessible.

This is a good thing!!!
