Sprint #6 of the Tuesday evening summer series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday, August 6, 2024, 6pm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are back in lovely Old Town Eureka for the third time in 6 years with another bike orienteering event. \u00a0Come join us for an evening ride around our small town checking out a number of the local parks. \u00a0REGISTER NOW!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Courses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0short course<\/strong>\u00a0is about a 3 mile ride but you are welcome to scale that shorter, or add in some of the long course points to make it longer. \u00a0The navigation will be beginner level, but intermediate level folks might find a short cut or two. \u00a0This course is almost completely flat and uses the paved trail system around Eureka with a few brief road sections in the downtown area. \u00a0There are cross walks as well so families can feel very comfortable on this course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0long course<\/strong>\u00a0will take you about 8-10 miles. \u00a0While this course remains flat, more navigational skill will be needed to complete the course in a competitive time. \u00a0The long course will incorporate the short course. You will use two maps, there will be a seperate map with only the long course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPECIAL CHALLENGE!\u00a0<\/strong>In partnership with our friends at Eureka Crossfit<\/a>, there will be a special challenge this year that will be required on both courses. \u00a0The challenge location will be indicated on your map and when you arrive you will follow the instructions of the facilitator. \u00a0You must complete the challenge successfully in order to receive the punch for that control. \u00a0We are not spilling all the details but be ready to be off your bike for a few minutes. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In person registration begins at 6pm with starts to begin at 6:15pm. \u00a0No starts will be allowed after 7pm. We will use ePunch for the courses and both courses use a Score O format meaning you get as many checkpoints (a.k.a. controls) as possible within a 60 minute window from your start. \u00a0All checkpoints are worth 10 points. \u00a0Anyone finishing past 60 minutes will be penalized 5 points per full minute. \u00a0The course closes at 8pm sharp. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Start\/Finish<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like in 2022, we will be hosted by Joe Boccardi\u2019s in Eureka<\/a>. \u00a0We will be on the patio. \u00a0Please park behind the building in the designated lot and use either that lot or the adjacent lot across from the Eureka Post Office for your bike staging. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not bring your bike into the restaurant or patio area. \u00a0Access the HQ at all times before and during the event ONLY through the back door entrance of the restaurant. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you finish the course and turn in your punch card (eStick), please join the SLOC family for food, drink, and tales of the course on the patio to Joe Boccardi’s!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gear<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are welcome to ride any bike you wish. You must wear a bike helmet. From there, bring your own snacks and hydration. We will provide you with the materials to make a simple but effective way to attach your map to your handlebars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
