Crabbing Guide – Just ASk Me

By Sam Hoffman – Self proclaimed crabbing expert

• I make it a point to get really tuned up on the first night. The bros look to me to set the tone for the weekend.

• I raid the fridge at 1:45 AM and wake up the house to announce I am going to bed.

• Come morning, everyone sees I am hungover, but it doesn't stop me as I take charge of the boat to direct crabbing activities between naps.

• After crabbing, I boldly declare I was only pretending to be hungover!

THE CLIMB

When Jeremy Pfarr was asked 'Why do you climb mountains?', he replied simply: 'Because they're there.'

Because some challenges are meant to be met. Join the climb through the Coastal Range and finish with a view of the Pacific Ocean.

Pop it up again… I dare you… Come on... Pop it up...

And look at me. I want my face to be the last thing you see before I stuff this wiffle ball down your throat.

MESSAGE FROM THE Top

Hey Guys,

As the most skilled player in the group, it has been a privilege watching the rest of you develop a rudimentary understanding of the game.

This year, I don't want to see any 4-hits, lifts, or net touches. Let's have another great tournament!

– Austin Lanier 

THE MANZANITA INVITATIONAL

Fire

Dancing naked around a fire changes a man. 

It awakens something buried, something forgotten from times 10,000 years past. Times when men would go into the jungle; we would hunt, bang on drums, and kill game with our bare hands.

Your primal scream will finally let out. You will be heard. You will be understood.

– Brian Holste 

Saturday Night at the Dune

Since 1935, heavy drinkers and music fans far and wide have recognized the San Dune as Manzanita’s best watering hole with live music.

Tired of watching Barnes and Hennessy on the dance floor? Head out to the back patio for a breath of fresh air.

Many great acts headline the Dune, but we can only hope for Erotic City.

Route

A perfect century ride for more decorated riders. The first 50 miles cover wine country, scenic farmlands, short hills, and one big climb. The second half travels along streams, through dense forest, and over rolling hills. Overall, this route is challenging and absolutely gorgeous.

Thursday Morning
Start Time:       6:30 AM
Finish Time:     3:00 PM

MESSAGE FROM THE FRONT

We have a great route lined up. The hill starts 30 miles in, and should you fall behind, I will leave you.

So saddle up, and get to the lunch stop at mile 63.

After lunch, it is a quick jaunt past Tillamook into Manzanita.
