Series 2 / Stage 3 - July 9, 2014: Road Race (Team Challenge)

Alright dudes (& dudettes),

I reckon it's about time we had a proper road race, no? Tomorrow night we're bringing back a bit of a classic - the Team Road Race! 

For the uninitiated...we simply divide the riders into a fairly evenly mixed few teams based on category, club, and favourite ice-cream flavour. Each team’s goal is to get the bulk of their riders over the line before the other teams. In other words, it's not which team can get one rider over first but rather who can get most of their riders over before the other teams. 

The Route:

The course is a hilly 50km loop following what many of you know to be "The Road to Nepal". The Start / Finish line will be located on 37th Street SW, just South of Hwy 22x. The course will be ridden clockwise to minimize lane crossings and will have pylons and/or a corner marshall making sure you don’t get lost.

Race Sign-on & Start:
The race will commence at 6:45pm to allow extra time for people to get to the course. Race sign on will be at the parking area from 6:00-6:40pm.

Parking:

Parking is located near the Start line on the Hwy 22x East / West divider (marked by the green square on the map!). 

Volunteers:

We can certainly use an extra 1-2 volunteers to help at the finish line or marshall a corner. As usual I’ll have some cold drinks and snacks on hand for volunteers…who knows we may have a few cold beers waiting for you as well…Let me know if you can help out :)

This race format is seriously fun, so you don't want to miss it...oh and weather is gonna be awesome!!
