Sunday...


Hey everyone, first year riding, so lots of logistic type questions smile.gif

Was curious from people who participated last year - what was the time range that people started riding Sunday morning?  My guesses:

Earliest like 6:30, average around 7:30-8:00, late around 9? 

Really have no clue so am just wondering as trying to plan meeting with family/etc at the finish line.

Cheers,
Greg

They generally want you on the road by 8am..the faster guys are often gone as soon as the course opens (7-ish) and the late folks trickle out no later than 8:30. Any more of a range, and things get waaaaaay to far spread out for the crew working the pit stops.

I was camp crew last year - I think the last rider was out (a bike fix was needed) at almost 9am.

anything later and they'd bus them to the first pitstop.

late starts really slow down the teardown of camp. lol....they were still working on taking tents down at 5pm last year.

Thanks for the info guys, this really helps on the planning side (you'll notice all my posts are trying to "time" everything, lol...)

Cheers,
Greg

its a steep learning curve for the first timers - but once you get there and get moving all you (riders) need to do is hop on your bike and ride like the wind. lol

food, medical, food, drinks, is taken care of by the crew. at camp there's showers, massages, medical. and really good food

I was one of the last to leave last year, needed my bike fixed so quite possibly the last one to leave and that was just before 9

Lol yeah, I didn't fall asleep really well until late so i ended up sleeping in late. Then when we went to leave my chain had came off and refused to go back on. Unfortunately this meant falling to the last rider but with the pit stops and everything I was able to finish more in the middle of the pack.
