The event features a three-cornered route on wide roads that measures just under a mile in length. Participants will navigate challenging turns and some traffic, making for an adrenaline-pumping experience from start to finish. Riders are encouraged to arrive early as the mandatory rider's meeting is scheduled for 6:45pm at the registration location.
Registration opens promptly at 6:00pm on race day, with a strict closing time of 6:30pm. The 'A' group will depart exactly at 6:45pm sharp, ensuring that all participants are well aware of their start times and can plan accordingly. Street parking is available for those who prefer not to park near the registration location.
