Ken Woods - first race of the MWCMR series!

Okay ladies, since the first race of the MWCMR series (Ken Woods Road Race), is almost upon us, we wanted to point out a few things:

  1. Sogn Valley, the location of the race, is about 40 miles from the Twin Cities (depending on where you're coming from of course). Allow at least an hour of travel time.
  2. GopherWheelmen have posted a course map, so check it out.
  3. Bring warm clothes (and possibly rain gear)!
  4. They'll line us up for the race just before 9 am...make sure you're at the start line. Just FYI, they'll be lining up a few other races at the same time.
  5. Points are awarded based on your finishing position. We will try to have the MWCMR series points posted here by Sunday evening sometime. We will only be able to award points based on the results provided by the officials (for example, if the officials only provide results 5 people deep, we can only provide MWCMR results 5 people deep...we'll encourage the officials to provide as many results as possible). Remember that you only have 15 minutes AFTER the official results are posted at the race to appeal any results that you think are incorrect. After that 15-minute period, they are OFFICIAL and cannot be changed (except under the direction of the chief referee).
  6. If you're the lucky woman who crosses the finish line first, you'll be awarded the leader's jersey after the results are official. Please go to registration to pick up the leader's jersey. The leader's jersey should be worn at the next MWCMR race which is the Withrow Time Trial on May 13th.
  7. Have fun! And if this is your first race, send us an e-mail or post a comment and let us know how it went!
Good luck ladies!
