Pro Class: There will be a pro class for this event with its own prizes.
This will give racers in the Senior I Experts category their fair shot at prizes.
Riders under 12:If a racer under 12 years of age wishes to race in the regular race
(not the Kid's Race), then he or she must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who must
ride with them throughout the entire race. We do not wish to have young children out on the big
race course (many miles from the Start/Finish line) without a responsible adult with them to
ensure that they return safely.
Prizes for the Beginner First Time race will be awarded by random drawing. We will score
the Beginner First Time Race normally (you will know how you placed in your category) - but
to encourage first time racers (and discourage sandbaggers), we will award prizes with the random drawing.
Our current plan is hold the random drawing for the Beginner First Time Racers at 12 Noon in the
Registration area.
As usual, the Expert winners will be awarded cash prizes. Beginner Advanced and Sport winners will
receive bike merchandise. Remember that we award prizes quite deep in the larger categories.
