The "Round the Clock" 24 hour event is a team relay
mountain bike race, beginning at noon on Saturday and
ending at noon on Sunday. Teams compete for medals,
prizes and bragging rights. Plan your Memorial Day
weekend now and make the first 3 day weekend of the
summer seriously memorable. We'll give you a weekend
of camping, mountain biking, laughing, huffing and
puffing that you'll never forget. Go it alone or get a
team together with your friends, their friends and
anyone else who wants to have nothin' but fun for 2
solid days. We'll start you off at High Noon on Saturday
and you'll be going round and round for 24 hours,
straight on through the wee hours of the night and back
into daylight again on Sunday.

Anyone who can ride a bike can do this….your team
decides how many laps each person does…one or a
whole bunch. So bring your camping gear, bike gear
and whatever else will keep you going for 24
hours... then come on out and get dirty with us!

VOLUNTEERS
|
Each team is required to provide one volunteer for a 4-hour shift. Solo riders do
not need to provide a volunteer, but must have a support person with them.
Volunteers receive an event
t-shirt, midnight feed & post event pasta feed ticket. Volunteers are assigned to a job on a first come first serve
basis. Sign up sheets will be posted on site during volunteer sign-in on Friday, May 22nd at 5:30pm. Anyone may
sign up for the volunteer, but it is imperative that they pass along the hours and duties to their volunteer. Shifts
run through the entire 24 hour time period. Should your volunteer not show for their duty, your team will be disqualified.
Your volunteer must be over 18 years of age. If a team member wishes to participate as the volunteer, that is ok, however,
he/she must be available for the entire 4 hour period. The only place where we can split shifts is in the timing tent.
|
Sample volunteer jobs: Timing tent recorder, dismount caller, number plate caller, checkpoint station attendant,
road marshal, awards helper, kids race helper.
We appreciate your help in providing these volunteers,
as we would not be able to do this event without them!
