How it Works:
Participants can register & pre-ride the course between 5:30pm & 6:45pm. All registration occurs on race day. Registration closes at 6:45pm. Races start @ 7:00pm in three separate waves based on age & ability. Participants complete as many laps as they can within the 1-hour time-limit. At 7:45pm the last rider is allowed to start the final lap, while all other riders are directed to the finish chute. It's expected most participants will complete between 2 and 4 laps. Once finished, riders return their bike plates and are automatically entered for draw prizes.
