Hello riders!


Here are some last minute notes regarding this weekend's Foothills 100k. Please read all of them. There are important bits throughout.  A copy of these notes is linked here: https://www.azbrevet.com/assets/downloads/Foothills-LM-Notes_12-16-2023.htm  If I think of anything else, I will put that info in this link.

 

Mother Nature has decided to smile upon us this weekend! Here’s a link to randoplan.com which forecasts the weather at each location on the ride. Just change the average speed to what you predict you will ride. I defaulted it to 17 mph on flat ground for reference. https://bit.ly/3NnydIk

About the routes:

  1. Cue sheets and RWGPS have been updated and are linked on the web (www.azbrevet.com).
    1. I will NOT have printed cue sheets or Brevet cards at the start. You must print your own documents if you want.
  2. Lunch will be served at the completion of the ride. I will give each rider a “coupon” at the start which will entitle you to a 6 inch sub, chips and drink of your choice at the Subway next door to Cortado Coffee.
  3. Proof of passage for RUSA credit. You have 3 options and you only need to choose one of them. Details are on the web and may be found here: https://www.azbrevet.com/EPP.html. You MUST read, understand, and follow these instructions. Ask questions if you don't understand them. As Brad says, "Learn it. Know it. Live it." In summary, they are as follows.
    1. GPS Track of your ride or
    2. Photos at each control or
    3. Traditional brevet card with receipts and/or Informational questions.
  4. Brevet card may be found here. If you want a Brevet Card, you must print it yourself.

  5. If you are running late to the start, you MUST text (602.702.2132) me to let me know you still plan to ride. Otherwise, you will be listed as DNS and will not receive credit for the ride. I plan to ride the event and will be leaving with the group.
  6. Parking: Please park behind Cortado Coffee so that the spaces up front are available for the customers. I will be back there to greet you and have a rider meeting at 7:20. Please be there early enough to get yourself and bike ready so that we can go thru any last minute issues and questions at that time.
  7. If you decide to DNF, please text me to let me know not to expect you at the finish.
  8. You must email me with your Proof of Passage within 3 days after the ride. I understand that a number of you are traveling. If this deadline poses any issues, please let me know so that we can make arrangements. I need to get the results submitted in a timely manner and I will only submit results when I have everyone’s result. Email: mikesturgill@cox.net

Let me know if you have any questions.
