Get there early for
registration etc. (if
you did not register
earlier)
Entry Fee:
$200.00 per individual
before Aug 1st. $250 per
individual from
Aug 1st to
Aug 21st. $300.00 on
race day.
So get your team
together now and
register early to take
advantage of the
discounted
registration fee.
The objective of the
event is for the teams
(or individuals if solo)
to complete as many laps
as possible over 8
hours.
Racers can stop
when they please at the
staging area to refill
water, fix bikes, eat,
etc.
Team strategy will
of course go a long way
towards a successful
race. For instance the
stronger riders may want
to do more time on the
course than the other
team members.
Also the
time each racer rides at
a stretch is up to the
team, so changeovers can
be done every 5 laps or
2 laps, or whatever the
team deems best.
If
everyone needs a break
at the same time that is
fine, but you'll have to
go harder later on to
make up those laps!
At the finish time (4pm) all riders not yet at the finish will be allowed
to finish that
lap.Therefore, even if
someone crosses the line
one minute before the
finish time, they can
continue that lap and it will be counted. This is another area where
strategy comes into
play!
There will be more info
next week, but hopefully
these answers some of
your questions, but feel
free to call or email
any of us at Trailing
Edge for more info. See
you soon at the Big 8!!!
