Need a reason to keep training through the final indoor weeks of the year…well here ya go!
The plan is simple:
- A two-event “Stage Race”
- March 15th @ 6:40AM: Prologue (6.9K, very flat, get your TT frame ready)
- March 17th @ 6:25PM: Road Race (15.4K, “mountain” top finish)
- Do one, or do both!
- Smash it, or just do it for completion!
Prizes:
- Top male, top female OA and Masters gets new sunglasses in each stage
- 3 people who finish both stages will be drawn to win a pair of sunglasses regardless of where they finish
- Note- you can only win 1 pair!
- Thanks to all who donated in 2022 to make prizes like these possible!
Results:
- Individual AND combined results will be posted in HPWR
ROUTES
Stage 1: Prologue
- Check out the event HERE.
- Check out Coach Sean’s pre-ride HERE.
- 6.9K of suffering (or just cruise it)
- Make sure to switch to your TT FRAME!
- With the lead in and then one Volcano Circuit loop, this stage is mega flat (40m of elevation) and mega fast- this is the day to excel if you’re a heavier rider who can push big watts!
Stage 2: Road Race
- Check out the event HERE.
- Check out Coach Sean’s pre-ride HERE.
- 15.4K EXACTLY (very close to the banner, but ride until you hit 15.4K!)
- Make sure to chose your favourite climbing frame!
- With a fairly flat ~12K lead in followed by a ~3K climb right to the finish, lots of strategy will come into play! Do you draft and wait to smash the climb? Do you hammer from the start to try to drop stronger climbers? Do you do enough just to hold your lead from the prologue?
That’s it for now- see you all out on the virtual roads!
