Bike Checks

Sporting Intentions is doing the bike checks again this year for the Relay. Bike checks are mandatory and Sporting Intentions will do them free of charge. You can have your bike checked anytime starting today. You just need to give your name and team name to Andrew Scott and once the bike check is complete you will get a sticker certifying your bike is good to go for the race. Bike checks the day of the race will take place on site but will be limited so don’t miss out and get your bike done prior to the race to prevent congestion.

Training Clinics

To help you prepare for the Relay, Outside Expeditions may be sponsoring a series of FREE training clinics in May. We expect each clinic to take between 1.5 and 2 hours. Clinics go rain or shine. We welcome all ages and experience levels – these are designed to help you improve your time and have fun doing it.  Each clinic will provide a training plan for the sport tailored to beginner, intermediate or expert participants. We look forward to seeing you!
