Series Event
Road Races
- Registration will generally open by 5:15 and close just before the first group starts at 6:15. I have never disallowed someone from participating if they register late, they just have to chase down the group.
- The first group will start at approximately 6:15. A's start first followed by the B's and then the C's. Groups are generally spaced far enough apart but can sometimes come together. At no time may a rider work with riders from another category.
- Please keep off the course near the finish line as it creates congestion and a possible hazardous situation for participants coming into the finish.
- Head South on US 395 from Reno to Washoe Valley. Exit onto Bowers Mansion Road (Old US395 or State Route 429) and travel South approximately 1.75 miles to Bowers Mansion Parking Lot. Early season the lot closes at 7pm so if your start time is before 6:30 you should be able to make it back if you hurry, otherwise park on the shoulder, late season lot closes at 8pm. Make sure that you are as far off the road as possible. Do not park in the first 30 yards or so south from the gate as this is the registration and event staging area. If you do you will be asked to move.
- Course heads South on Old US 395 to the Southern Intersection of Franktown Road and Old US395 (Approximately 4 Miles, DO NOT take the first Franktown Turn you come to or you will be riding the course backwards). After turning right on Franktown Road you will have a short climb and then the course will turn back north. The end to the course is shortly before you loop back to Old US 395.
- OBEY all traffic signs, primarily meaning the stop sign after you finish the event. The course is set up so that you will not cross any traffic controls during the event.
- This course is open to traffic so please be courteous. There is a significant shoulder along Old US 395 so stay to the right as much as possible except as needed to pass.
