FINAL DETAILS !!!

We'll meet at Lee Martinez park parking lot / pavilion, registration ($15) is from 9-9:30am and we'll roll out at 9:45am. The race will take most people 1.5-2hrs - so figure ending some time around noon... party starts whenever the winner crosses the finish line ... The park is just west of College ave on the Poudre river bike trail, OR get there by heading north on Sherwood St. to the end and turning right to the parking lot by the tennis courts. Look for the big yellow Brave New Wheel delivery van. Location is right about here -> http://tinyurl.com/2dt9b8u

As usual we'll have coffee from the Bean Cycle and snacks, come prepared with plenty of water / food for the pedaling part as none is available along the course.

After registration we will ride neutral from the meeting spot to the start location just north of town. Maps are handed out at registration and the course will be well marked with signs.

If you have friends who'd like to go out on the course and cheer you up or throw eggs, H2O balloons or dirty sex toys at you, we'll have extra maps @ registration, just ask.

If at any point in the race you or your bicycle become un-awesome, the Brave New Wheel big yellow van will be following behind offering a ride to the finish and will carry a first aid kit too.

We'll finish and party at the same place from last year east of town: 4616 E. Co rd 52 past the golf course on the North side; shortly after registration volunteers will move on to set up at the finish line where we'll have a metal drum full of cold dizzy waters,snacks,prizes & schwag,T-shirts for sale for $15 (organic,free range,Non GMO and all that )as well as some of the awesome custom silkscreened posters.

YOUR BIKE: Ride your singlespeed or fixie commuter, MTB, track bike - whatever - as long as it's got only ONE (functional) GEAR. If you wanna race but only have at this time a geared bike,come on out, just make it unshiftable.
( we can help with that if you don't feel too creative )

What gearing to run? Answering that question is part of the fun! The course basically stays down on "the flats" and doesn't climb up into the foothills at all - so you don't need a small gear for sustained climbing. In general a gear that is comfortable around town or a bit bigger should be good. Fast MTB tires or cyclocross tires will give good traction on the rougher stuff but be a bit slower on the smooth stuff, with the opposite said about slick road tires. Choose your poison/weapon.

We will honor "spoke cards" from last year; good hippies re-use right ?
