There will NOT be an option to pedal up instead of taking the lift...even if you could, the chair will be wayyyyyy faster.

RACE FORMAT: The clock starts in the morning at 10:00 am and stops in the afternoon at 4:00 pm. The rider with the most COMPLETED runs by four wins.
CHAIR LIFTS: Upon completing a run a rider will proceed directly to the lift line for the next run. Once in line all riders must remain in the order in which they arrived NO CUTTING the line or letting your buddy in. Riders who need to attend to other business (restroom, mechanical, etc.) will lose their place in line and will need to go the back of the line when they return. We will have water and Hammer Nutrition products at the finish so that riders will be able to hydrate without losing their place in line. There will also be a table where racers my leave their personal ice chests/lunch boxes so that you can eat in line or on the chairlift.
STARTING PROCEDURE: We'll start promptly at 10:00 am. It will be a mass start like a cross-country race; the riders will follow a lead moto around a 1.5 mile loop of the lower portion of Kirkwood. The finish of that loop will be at the chair-lift line, the order of finish will be a rider's position in the chairlift line for the first run.
COURSE: Elevataion drop is about 1800'. It's a 6-mile mix of steep chutes, twisty corners and flowing singletrack. This is a Super-D...there ARE climbs---about 600' of elevation gain per run----so you won't want a full-on DH bike. The hot set-up will be an all-mountain bike, 5-6" travel with big tires and more than one chain-ring.
SIGN-UP: 7:30 to 9am on race day. Saturday after the Cross Country is over about 3:30PM until 7pm.
RIDERS MEETING:At the Finish line behind Red Cliffs Lodge at 9:45. Arrive ready to race. By the time we go over the rules and finish line procedure it will be time to start.
AWARDS: The man and the woman with most runs will each get a $250 gift certificate to WATTABIKE! Bigfoot medals to top 3 in each category. We'll also raffle off a bunch o'schwag at the awards.
