Q: What time is it and how do I get there?
A: Registration starts at 7:30 and riders start at 8:30. Check mapquest for directions here. The park is F.W. Kent Park, west of Tiffin on County Highway 6.
Q: Why can’t I register online?
A: If I had you register online you would wonder why you had to sign the form when you got to the start, the answer is you must sign the paper, mailing it to me gets everything done before hand and you just need to get your number at the race and start warming up. Much easier for us.
Q: Is everyone starting together or are they split up? What time does my category start?
A: All riders at the start line at 8:30 am. The race is split up into categories, 1,2,3,4,5,40+,50+,60+,Jr and Women. Riders will have a staggered start, each group going off together with another group shortly behind. All riders will be on the field at the same time and are allowed to work together. Prizes are for the category winners.
Q: How many riders will there be? This is my first race will I be able to do it?
A: The field is limited to 100 riders and there will be 100 riders, the park has set this limit for the race. All levels of rider will be there, some of the fastest around and some just starting. This was my very first race and I had a great time. All abilities can ride.
Q: What’s the course like, can you give me a discription?
A: The course is a closed course, no traffic but I’ve seen people walking on the side. It’s a very hilly course, some big down hills and a steep hill at the finish line that we cross 7 times.
Q: Why isn’t this race longer, split up more with categories going one race at a time? Why isn’t it cooler with bigger prizes?
A: This was a Two Bee race, we put on small events with small prizes, it’s a charity race. This event became large but will never change what it started as. The park allows us to use the course and we must be off by 11:00 am, some think this is silly but it’s the way it is. We are the only event that this park closes for and I’m very grateful to have it. The bottom line, this race is what it is and that’s what makes if fun. There are plenty of high profile events this year, this race is tons of fun, you will see, hang out with, and race with all the people you haven’t seen in a while so relax and enjoy.
Q: I’ve e-mailed you with questions several times, you have answered each question with care like you thought I would show up but I didn’t, what should I do now?
A: This page is for you guys, by the third question it should be sent along with a check and registration form.
