Our Festival of Fun + BBQ + Awards + Prizes is a shortened low-key
version of team relay events popular with mountain bikers everywhere.
Info: Teams of 4 Riders each "ride in
pairs" (2) on a marked 4 mile course, changing "team pairs" (2)
after each lap. Teams completing the most laps in their 4 hour segment,
at a monitored "Brisk Recreational Pace" [***] (ie: 30 - 60 minutes
per lap) and the posted rules, will be declared winners in each class. Ties
will be broken by time differentials.
It's a
Challenge...But it's NOT a Race!!
