two times a week. On the Time Trial you
are NOT allowed to use the "Rabbit Hole" technical route.
SPORT: You've been riding for a while, you can ride Granite Bay, Auburn and
Salmon Falls and do OK. You might spend 3-4 days a week riding. Eligible for the "Rabbit Hole" on the TT.
EXPERT: You
know who you are. You live to crush your competitor buddies.
Most of you will choose to take the "Rabbit
Hole" on the TT.
SINGLE SPEED:
Ummmm you only have ONE GEAR on your bike. This is a Sport or Expert
class.
CLYDESDALE:
Are you 200 lbs or over? The Clyd's class is a class for the big
guys at the sport level. Watch out! They can be
pretty fast. If you are not at least at the sport fitness and skill
level, try the Beginner class instead.
