October 8th, 2016
SOLO and RELAY
DIVISIONS
The Key Largo to Key West Cycle Challenge is a 92 mile Relay race form Key Largo to Key West along the Heritage Trail . There is no set milage for each cyclist to ride. The SLAP BAND can be passed to another team mate at any time and as often as you like during the race. We encourage each team to follow their rider and be close in case of flats or breakdowns. This makes this race, one of strategy , speed and how you handle flat changing and breakdowns.
For example : rider A has a flat , rider B, C or D can jump out of your support vehicle and grab the baton and continue on for your team. Or do you hand off a new bike to rider A and fix his bike? How you handle the miles each cyclist rides is up to you. The only rules are each rider must cycle at least 5 miles. Are you going to change riders every 5, 10 or 20 Miles ? Do you pull weak riders off the coarse and replace them with the strong? It's totally up to you.
First place in each category will be showered with gifts and prizes. Second place will receive a pat on the back from Mark Terrill (race organizer).
YOU ARE YOUR TEAMS SUPPORT. Mechanics will be provided only at every check point. We will also have a sweeper vehicle in case of breakdowns for the solo riders , but it will be first come first serve . DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES?
