July Handicap: Let’s Play Some LEAPFROG! The July Handicap will take place on Saturday, July 25th in the foothills. The race will feature a new and exciting format called a LEAPFROG event! Teams of 2 competitors will be required to advance a mountain bike over a 5.03 mile course. Teams will be handicapped by the sum of the anticipated 5K running times for the competitors. Both competitors on a team will start at the same time at the start line. One competitor will start out as a runner, and the other will start out as a biker. At the designated transition T1, The biker will drop the bike and run to transition T2; and, the runner will pick up the bike and ride to transition T2. The competitors will alternate running and biking (e.g.: leapfrog) until both competitors reach the finish line (one competitor may need to wait for the other competitor before the team crosses the finish line together). WHERE AND WHEN WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING If you would like to participate but don’t have a mountain bike (and are unable to borrow one), please contact Ed (ezanelli@yahoo.com) or Shannon (shannon.zanelli@gmail.com). We strongly recommend that you use either flat pedals or baskets/cages. If you and your partner use a different seat peg height, you should consider using a quick release style seat peg adjuster, which can be purchased for a nominal price (around $10) at Sports Systems. Also feel free to contact Ed or Shannon if you are seeking a partner and we will do our best to match you up with someone. SAFETY BIKE SECURITY LEGS All areas featuring “technical” terrain will be marked with cones. The biking difficulty level for the entire course is easy to moderate. SCORING AFTER PARTY |
