Explanation

• New start and finish location – just across the Wichita River at the Kay Yeager Ag Barn.

The new start is just across the pedestrian bridge at the Key Yeager Ag Barn, that’s right; you get to start in the barn! We did this to facilitate multiple laps by the Cat 1 and 2 groups and so we did have to worry about bike on person collisions on the sidewalk or pedestrian bridge.  Note – Mountain Bikers will not have a river crossing this year, I know most of you loved that part, sorry.

• New timing company for all of Hotter’N Hell weekend! YEA!

Our new company, Cadence Sports promises to have results posted quickly and correctly!  They will even post a Leader Board for the Triple Threat!

• New start times for all Category’s

Cat 2 will start at 10 AM and will race 2 laps.  The first lap will count for your Triple Threat time.

Cat 1 will start at 1 PM and will race 2 laps.  The first lap will count for your Triple Threat time.

Cat 3 will start at 4 PM and will race 1 lap.

Cat 3 “first timers” will start as soon as the start line is clear of “normal” Cat 3’s about 3:15 to 3:30

Kid event will start as soon as the start line is clear.  We’re still working on this.

• Start list emailed out by Wednesday of race week.

Please make sure your email is correct when you sign up!  We hope to start groups as to Category and age group so you will know just who your competition is.  That said, we may have to combine very small age groups or split very large ones.

• New “first timers” start

A “first timer” is someone that has not ridden a mountain bike much or maybe someone that is only in the mountain bike race so they can complete the Triple Threat.  Please do not enter the “first timer” category if you are a good mountain biker.  This is for the beginning beginners. To encourage this category to have only real beginning beginners we will not give out age group award for this category.  Everyone that finishes the mountain bike race will receive a finisher’s award!

• Kids event

We want to encourage young people to get out and ride so we will offer a very short – less than 3 miles – mountain bike event.  We are working on making this a free event and we even hope to have some helmets on hand to give out to kids that don’t have one. Everyone will receive a participation award.
