DIRECTIONS
I-25 TO EXIT 188, CASTLE PINES PKWY, EAST 1 BLOCK TO HAVANA, GO NORTH TO THE PARKING LOT! EASY!!
The Not So Fine Print:
The prizes? Glorious Cash and Beer, 3-deep. A Case, a 12-pack and a 6-pack. We’re also offering up gift cards to local merchants. Must be present to win, no going home early. You’re not going to get rich being the Best on Hess, but you’ll be the Best. Period.
Are you really having a Tour de France style starting house and Podium Models? YES! As you are about to become the Best on Hess, you’re kind of a big deal and deserve a suitable launch pad to display your awesomeness. And please, no groping the models.
What’s the course like? Hess Road is a spectacular bike racing course that just happens to allow cars on it. It was made for you. With a wide shoulder & brand new surface, it’s become one of the most popular routes in the area. It’s an out and back with rolling climbs each way, and fun fast descents, centerline rule in effect. Check it out: http://www.strava.com/activities/65495168
What category can I race? Racers can race their own category or faster, but not slower. I.E: if you hold a 3 license, you can race Categories 3, 2 or 1. If you hold a 1 license, you can only race 1. 1-Day licenses are 4’s and 5’s, so they let you race almost any category, so long as the other criteria are met (age, gender, etc.).
What’s the cost? Cheap. The cheapest fun you can have for $29 in fact, and if you do a 2nd race that one’s only $15. You do need a USAC license, so if you need to buy a 1-day that’s $10. If you hold a racing license already but are not a member of BRAC, that costs $5. Still cheap.
Registration? Closes at 11:59PM on THURSDAY THE 22nd! If you register online, you are guaranteed a slot. If you want to risk race day registration, know this: It closes at 7:15AM, it’s $6 more, we are only allocating a handful per category for day-of registration, and you will go first. Online is better. www.TeamRMHP.com or Www.usacycling.org/register/2013-2939
Packet pickup? Optional, Friday the 23rd from 4-7PM at Nice Bike, 2435 S. Broadway, Denver, 80210. 720-242-6107
What about my actual start time? Everyone’s actual start time will be emailed out to you on the 23rd, and they will also be posted on our website, www.teamrmhp.com. If you choose day-of registration, your time will be posted with everyone else’s by 7:45AM, and you’ll go at the beginning of your particular category.
What does Non Aero mean for those 2 races? No aero equipment. TT helmets, wheels deeper than 30mm, aero bars, heck, even those aero shoe covers are out. Just you, whatever bike you can dust off, and the clock. We’ll even give bonus points for anyone hard core enough to do it on a mountain bike. TT / Tri setups are good to go for all the other categories, though, so bring the fastest swag you’ve got… disk, bars, pointy helmet.
How easy is it to get there? Incredibly easy and close to home. It’s just south of Lincoln Avenue on I-25, exit 188. As you exit the freeway, you can look to the east and see the start. After the exit ramp, turn east and cross over the highway, then turn north on the frontage road to the parking lot. This is the easiest bike race to get to ever, and it’s great prep for Steamboat’s Stage Race.
Juniors? We offer all the categories: 10-12, 13-14, 15-16 and 17-18 for both men and women, order of go is oldest to youngest. All junior rules are enforced like gear restrictions for all (Rule 1I4) and under 14 must use mass start bikes (Rule 1I5). Complete rules: www.usacycling.org. Entry is free in the Junior race categories, normal fees apply for adult races, regardless of age. And if an under age racer makes the podium in an Adult race, we will substitute gift cards for the beer prizes. Sorry Dad, no beer for you, and shame on you for trying to win beer via your kid. Enter up yourself!
What if I have questions? Reach out to the Race Director, Doug Gordon. [email protected] or 303-517-0019 is his cell. Poor guy.
