7:45am - 8:45am: Pack Pick-Up at Baker Creek Parking Area (if you didn't already do this)
9:00am: Race start
This is Rebecca's favorite stage of the entire event, and arguably the most challenging. We begin across the highway from the Baker Creek overflow parking area, and competitors are encouraged to carpool to the start because of limited parking space.
There is one section of challenging single track that may require some of you to hike/hoof-it for a little bit before you're able to mount back up, but the payoff is well worth the effort as you rip back down from the top, north end of the course on the return route on what feels like a slalom run from the top to the bottom.
Warning: This route features two areas where you may see two-way traffic. They will be well-marked.
As a condition of our permit, you may not ride your bike along highway 75 to or from Baker Creek. Please drive (carpool) to the start.
Points will not be awarded by stage. Instead, your position in the GC standings will be time-based, and depent on how fast you complete each stage of the QSR. Time bonuses will be awarded in various stages.
Our scoring team uses the best-in-class RFID timing hardware, but it's not 100% fool-proof. Yea, we're talking to you. Let's make sure this is done right. Here is what you need to know about how to apply your timing tag to your bike so that our remote scoring equipment accurately captures you at various check/verification points.
APPLY ONLY AS DIRECTED! This is the most important piece of material we assign.
Your rider packet will include a seat post tag that includes a sensitive electronic sticker, better known as an RFID tag. It broadcasts a minuscule radio signal whenever it comes near our scoring equipment. But that signal can be blocked if the RFID tag is bent, folded, placed in your pocket, or otherwise applied in a manner other than directed here. Please take a good look at the following images which illustrate the proper way of attaching your seat post tag to your bike:
