JACKSON, Wyo. (KIFI/KIDK) - The LOTOJA Bike Race, which takes riders on a 205 mile ride from Logan, Utah and finishes at Teton Village, will pass through Jackson this Saturday.

Jackson Hole Community Pathways is seeking volunteers to help with pathways traffic management of two to three hour shifts starting Saturday afternoon until approximately 8:00 p.m.

This year's route is the same as the past several years with a 3 mile segment of the race taking place on the Teton County Pathway system.

The riders will approach Jackson from the south on Highway 89 from Hoback Junction, then will turn left onto South Park Loop and head north past Melody Ranch and 3 Creek Ranch. Riders will be routed onto the pathway at the end of Tribal Trails Road, continuing on the pathway along WY22 and across the Snake River Pathway Bridge before being routed back on to the road on Highway 390 to Teton Village.

The pathway will remain open to public use throughout the day, but pathway users are cautioned to be aware of cyclists and to please yield to racers.

Signs and course markings will be in place by 12:00 p.m. Saturday to alert pathway users and provide direction for event participants.

Course marshals will be positioned at critical junctions on the pathways between 1:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. to help manage pathway and race traffic.

The fastest riders are expected to arrive in Jackson as early as 1:00 p.m., and there will be riders on the course throughout the rest of the day.

"Last year, we had stragglers coming through as late as 10 p.m. These folks are truly exhausted and appreciate as much encouragement as they can get," said Brian Schilling, Pathways Coordinator for the Town of Jackson.

To help, contact Schilling at (307) 690-9896 or bschilling@tetonwyo.org.
