PORT ANGELES — The second and final round of the 2015 Northwest Cup downhill mountain bike series at Dry Hill is this weekend.

“It won’t be as giant as the last one, but still around 400 racers coming to town,” race organizer Scott Tucker said.

Last month, the Northwest Cup brought Dry Hill its biggest race ever, with 600 racers from across the country as well as some from Europe, Canada and Australia.

Tucker said that unlike last month, there won’t be a spectator shuttle

“But with less people, there should be parking available, while it will be tight,” Tucker said.

“Sunday will be the best day for spectators.”

Sunday’s racing begins at 9:30 a.m. There will be seeding runs for Sunday’s finals on Saturday beginning at 4:30 p.m.

Dry Hill is 3 miles west of Haggen’s on U.S. Highway 101.
