Swim Details:

Earn bonus time for swimming!!

Each 1000yds above 3000yds earns a 1 min advantage!

Bike Details:
The emphasis is on a fun, mellow 35mi group ride... but we'll also see which male/female gets to the top first!  We'll meet at Bicycle Outfitters. 

Women have a 6 min advantage!

Bike Route - Easy spin from BO to Page Mill / Arastradero Park & Ride (7mi). Regroup. Climb 2000' to Page Mill & Skyline (8mi). Rest at top (congratulate first male / female). Go south on skyline to Hwy 9 (6mi). Descend Hwy 9 & Redwood Gulch to Steven's Canyon Rd (5mi) (or you can substitute Redwood Gulch with Pierce Rd & Mt. Eden to add 2 more miles and 2 more climbs) Steven's Canyon & Foothill Exwpy back to B.O. (7mi).

Total Bike Distance - 33mi, 2.5-3hrs.
Prizes - A secret surprise for each (male/female) winner! 

 

HOW TIME ADVANTAGES ARE CALCULATED AND USED:

To get your Total Advantage, add your swim time advantage to your bike advantage (women only).  This advantage will be subtracted from your Bike Hill-Climb Time. To determine your start time, divide your Total Advantage in half.  That determines the head start you will have on the rest of the field. This is to stagger the start and allow more opportunities for strategy!

Example: Susie earned 4 minutes from the swim and she gets a 6 minute bike advantage. Her total is 10 minutes, which she'll subtract from her bike split at the top. She'll also start 5 minutes before the field.
