Seeding Groups:
At check-in on race morning, we will have you pick a group to be seeded in. Your choices are:
Race-A-Fatty - 30 second interval starts. If you catch the rider in front of you, you can yell
at them and they have to pull over right away to let you pass. Also you'll have to tell us how rad
you are, so we can try to get a decent start order set up.
Roll-A-Fatty - 15 second interval starts beginning after the last of the racers. If you catch the
rider in front of you, you may not ask them to move over for you. They might move over to let you by,
but since neither of you is really going for it, it would be rude of you to ask.
Starts:
Racers will go first, followed by Rollers. First racer will go at the start times shown in the schedule above.
Weather:
NWS point forecast for the race.
