Re: [RC] AERC Championship: 50 Mile Information - rides2farWhy are they starting the 50 in the dark? The weather's cool...plenty of time to finish...what's their motive? They could easily start at 7:30 and have 12 hrs. of daylight!

The start will follow the same path as that used by the 100 Milers on Friday. There will be approximately 78 starters tomorrow morning in the dark (sunrise is @7:30 tomorrow). There is a new twist in the first (23 mile) phase of the ride. There will be a "pulse&go" at the nine mile point (at Edinburg Gap) 9 miles into the ride. All riders will have to reach pulse criteria (which I assume is 64) before continuing on. It will be dark. Tom Sites is our man on the trail - he will be calling in info as also crews for 3 riders. Anyone else, as usual, who hears anything is welcome to pass it along! jt =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
