Maybury CPS Time Trial, Aug 20th

[kcnado]

The only MTB racing I've ever done was the Tree Farm and Torn Shirt off-road triathlon. So, should I go ahead and pop into the Beginner class or sport class (female)? I assume there is no difference in distance.

Is this a mass start or wave start?

In this time trial format, each rider is sent off individually according to a clock. It's you against the clock, not other riders. This makes course congestion and passing skills less decisive in the outcome - it's mostly legs and lungs.

the last few years its been starting at 30 seconds apart. So one rider gets sent out, then 30 seconds later the next...

Awesome - thanks! That said, I think I'll go for it this year

Can you register the day of the race.

[Loren]

Yes.

I believe day-of registration is $35.

[Sherpaboy]

pre-registration is $25 - and closes the Thursday before the race (8/18) at Noon.

Day of registration is $35

The other benefit to pre-registering is you get to go off the line early with your age/class...i.e. less likely to be caught behind newer racers who wait to the day of to register

Looks like a good race to do the expert and the SS class later. Thanks for scheduling in such a fashion.

What time does check in end for pre registered riders. Being that the SS race doesn't start until 2PM I don't want to wait around all morning. Also is there a reason why the SSer's start so late?

See post above yours. It is so people can do both age group and SS if they would like.

[Kampfire]

K I understand. Thanks for the clarification. How about the end time for check in?

Is there a discount for 2 "events"?

[Sherpaboy]

I believe there is a discount built into the pre-registration ONLY! Day of registration is $35 per race.

Day of registration and check in ends at Noon! no later. Sorry but our volunteers start at 6am...which means by Noon they have been working (For free) for 6 hours.

This said EVERYONE should be there a minimum of 30-45min's before their scheduled class start time. For example - if you race at 11 am - you need to be in the park and at the registration by 10:15-10:30...allowing us time to get your info into the system and ready for the chip timing.

If you are registering the day of - please try to be there about an hour before your scheduled class start time.

Thanks, I just browsed through BikeReg, and it appears to be a $10 discount.
