It’s the same fun, crazy race that you have all come to love! But we've added a new category this year!
100 TEAM LIMIT! This event usually sells out, so don’t delay.
New for this year... we are allowing relay teams to roll with less than 4 folks. Sport class only, and your team will still need to pay for the full team slot. If you want to ride 4 laps yourself as a fun way to test yourself or roll with just 1 or 2 friends? We hear you! Only a traditional 4 person team will be eligible for awards, but everyone can get in on the joy!
Sport (men, women and co-ed), Advanced (men, women and co-ed) and Costume classes. A new class this year... Masters Open!
This race is a four person team relay: one lap for each Sport or Costume rider, 2 laps for each Advanced rider. Masters will do 6 laps (your choice of how many each rider does), and is gender neutral, but is for riders 45 and older.
Fast 10 mile course layout using two-track and single-track. Race officials reserve the right to modify the course in case of inclement weather
Mens, Womens and co-ed divisions in each class (Costume Class is all co-ed), except for Masters which is "open".
One of the opposite sex, required to qualify a Co-ed team. Masters can be any combination.
Time bonus awarded for best costumes in Costume Class. Costumes must be worn during racing – choose wisely. Costume judging 30 minutes prior to start time. All participants must be present for judging.
