Bike Races Details
This is a “six hour” event, starting at 10 am. In actual fact it
lasts 6 1/2 hours. Riders/teams complete as many laps as possible before
the 6 1/2 hour mark (4:30pm). New laps can be started up until the 6
hour mark (4pm) but must be completed before 6 1/2 hours. If you finish
your last lap at 4:29, your lap counts, if you finish at 4:31 you get no
credit for the last lap. In the event of a tie in the number of laps
between teams (this often happens), the fastest completion time for
those laps wins. For teams, the only requirement is that all riders must
complete at least one lap otherwise any combination is acceptable. Most
teams have riders alternating one lap at a time but some teams do 2 at a
time, some have the stronger rider do more laps and so on. It’s up to
you, and you can decide as you go along! Teams are both women, both men,
or mixed. As is traditional in Mountain Bike racing, you are expected
to be self-sufficient. We are working on a bike repair team but in case
we don’t have one there will be course marshals placed out on the
course. Most of them will be able to communicate to the first aid team
or to the start area if you have any problems.
Trail Etiquette: Everyone likes single track and we try to include as much as possible but this also makes passing a little more challenging. If you’re faster than someone ahead, let them know (nicely – no yelling, coming in hot!) you want to get by, but be patient and wait for a wide spot. If you’re holding someone up, pull over as soon as you can. Remember there’s no million dollar prize…. This race is meant to be fun for everyone!
