Antelope Island Classic‏

I just wanted to go over a few things for next week’s Race, The Antelope Island Classic.

-          We have two Cat 5 races; Cat 5A and Cat 5B.  This is due to the USAC rule that we cannot have more than 50 cat riders in a cat 5 race.  They are two completely separate races with separate prizes.  You can sign up for either event.  Just make sure that if you want to race with someone you know that they sign up for the same race.

-          Timing chips will not be used.  We will use high speed cameras.

-          The registration, Parking, the Johnsonville Bratwurst Party, Results and the start of the race will be at the Marina at the West end of the Causeway as you enter the actual Island.  You will need to tell the park ranger at the Causeway Toll Booth that you are a participant.  They will only charge you $2.00 for your vehicle to access the causeway and the island.  PLEASE CARPOOL.

-          No cars are allowed at the finish line.  The finish line and the marina are about two miles apart.

-          There will be a feed zone for Cat 1/2 and Cat 3 only.

-          Online registration will close on Thursday.  If you plan on late registration on Saturday, please get their early.  Late registration will close 30 minutes prior to the start of your race.  There will also be a $10 late fee.

-          We will not tolerate any public urination or littering.  Violators will be fined and subject to State prosecution.  It also jeopardizes the future of this event.

-          The gate to cross the causeway will open at 6:30 am.

We hope to see all of you out.  We have changed the race course somewhat from last year.  The course description is listed on the flyer. 

Disclaimer:  I am the promoter for this race as well as the UCA executive director.  This email was written as the promoter!

Dear Ferg,

Thank you for these comments.  This will be my first year racing this circuit, so I went out on WEdnesday to preride the course.  I got major lost on the ride.  I ended up doing 32 miles in a 25 mph head/cross-wind and finishing in the dark (sucks to be me for sure).  I would like to know if you wouldn't mind mapping the course and posting it here on say ridewithgps.com or mapmyride.com, so I can attempt to preride it again before tomorrow.

Thank you for you work,

Ronnie Boutte
