RACE FORMAT- MASH UP

Riders are encouraged to do each stage twice with your best stage  time counting towards your overall time

 

Timing is by SIAC with Sportident. After working with Sportident for many years, early in 2023, Galloway Hillbillies Bike Club have purchased Sportident timing apparatus and invested time to learn how it operates. 

You must register at sign on before obtaining your SIAC timing chip.  Make sure you have your chip and it is ACTIVATED BEFORE LEAVING FOR THE TRANSISTION to the START of the Stage 1. If your chip is not activated or you have forgot to put it on, you won't register a time and you'll have pedalled all the way up for nothing and have to go back to collect your chip before registering a race time.

DISCLAIMER= ALL RIDERS MUST WEAR A SUITABLE  HELMET AT ALL TIMES WHEN ON TRANSISTIONS AND STAGES

RIDERS ARE ALSO ENCOURAGED TO WEAR SUITABLE PROTECTION EG: KNEE PADS, ELBOW PADS, GLOVES

IF new to racing please follow and Listen and adhere to the marshalls instructions

Each rider will start the stage at 20-25 second intervals by order of the STAGE START MARSHALL

Emphasis on fun. Everybody welcome. If you are novice and have wondered about enduro, then this event is for you. If you are pro level then this will be a great winter training session and great for beginner riders to see your skills.

We will be looking for marshals closer to the event. Each marshal will be provided with a radio, a whistle, flags and a lunch ticket for the cafe for a snack and a drink.
