Q: Will it be an ultra-endurance ‘Race’ or ‘Ride’?
A: Yes. The set distance is 100-miles.
Q: How long will it take to compete a 100-miles?
A: That depends on you. The leaders are usually completing each 42-km lap in just under 2-hours in good weather. 100-miles at that pace is ~ 8-hours.
Q: Am I required to complete the distance.
A: No. Do what you can, do what you want, do what you must. Whatever you do be safe. Have fun. Ride your bike.
Q: Can people from out of Province ride in it?
A: Any one from any where. The more the merrier. I only ask that you wear a helmet, be responsible for yourself, be a good sports person, and respect the rules of the trail. Oh ya, don’t be a liability for others this is self-supported.
Q: What categories will there be?
A: 1st overall male (lowest time – first to complete 100-miles),
1st female overall (lowest time – first to complete 100-miles)
Q. What do we get for winning /completing the event.
A. Nothing, nota, zilch, zip. Seriously, what more could you ask for then a supper hard and very long day on your bike at Spruce Wood?
Q. What time does it start
A: 9 am sharp! If you arrive late, signup and get going (a lap sheet will be on the back of someone’s truck). Best overall time is the winner.
Q. Who is keeping track of the lap times.
A. You are! This ‘group ride’ works on the honor system. There will be a lap count sheet on the back of some truck. Fill it in as you lap.
Q. What refreshments can I expect?
A. You can eat whatever you bring. This is a self-supported event. Bring a whack load of food and water. A 100-miles is a long long day.
Q. What about bears?
A. There are plenty of those at Spruces Woods. Bring precautions, makes lots of noise, and know what to do in the event you meet a hungry bear.
Q. What are the trails like.
A. In comparison, well there really is no comparison, but I would give it least 6 or 7 stars of 5 if you are looking for something different. Think Reach-the-Beach on crack.
