Date and Time

7.30a on race day at the Dovecote (date TBD, see the poll above)

Brix Cider opens at 11a on Saturdays and Sundays, so we will start around 8a in case anyone decides to be a hero and run way faster than expected.

If you are not at the Dovecote by the time we need to leave for your leg, we will have to leave without you (which would be a bummer). If you won't be able to make it to the Dovecote around 7.30a, let Stephen know and he can get an estimate for the time by which you would need to make it.

Weather Policy

We will play this by ear. A little rain never hurt anyone, but a lot of rain and/or lightning have hurt people. Cross your fingers that we don't have to postpone.

Getting to Your Relay Leg

The plan is to drive folks from location to location. To be most efficient, homebase will be the Dovecote. Please find your own way here. Driving assignments will be posted once the legs are filled.

Sun

Drop at Monona Terrace

Saturn

Drop at Odana Hills GC, then take a right down the bike path

Uranus

Pick up near Goose Lake

Neptune

Drop at Epic near Stable, take the ramp down to the bike path and take a right

Pluto

If anyone wants to come for the celebration at Brix Cider, they are more than welcome to join us!

Questions? Please reach out to Stephen.
