VIC Red Hill XC Hour of Power - April 30th

[The Duckmeister]

The happy gang at Red Hill Riders are pleased to announce our first XC race to be held on the trails, to be held on Sunday April 30th.

The Hour of Power is an XCO format event (so it's actually a bit more than an hour, but "Hour & a bit of Power didn't work as well :tongue1: ). The course is going to be undeniably challenging, but we've worked out a route that keeps it relatively manageable.

Age groups will cover Under 13s right up to 60+ Ultra Masters, with laps graded accordingly, and with that in mind the event will be run over two races a) to keep traffic density down and b) to match the laps more evenly.

It's got its own page on the Red Hill Riders website, complete with entry link which is live now, so Get On It! :smile:

Anyone else entered? Must be off season for everyone now nationals are done... .

Kinda overlapping with the endurance race season rather than latching into the short-format season, but we had to find a spare weekend!

Entered, looking forward to it. What is it exactly- ~1hr most laps wins or X amount of laps and you expect it to take around an hour?

 

[The Duckmeister]

It's XCO (Olympic) format, so fixed number of laps to fit within a target time window of 1:15-1:45. So the actual race duration will be a bit more than an hour, but Hour of Power is a catchier title.

I'm entered.
