-mountain bike - required* for the 10 hour race, any bike type can be used for the 4 hour race

*we recognize that the use of cyclocross bikes is becoming increasingly popular, but we feel that they do provide an advantage on the road portions of the course.  Therefore, for the 10 hour race, they will be allowed, but there will be a penalty.  Any team that has a cyclocross bike in its armamentarium will incur a 15 minute time penalty.  In addition, that team will be penalized 1 check point per bike in the corral.  For example, if two members on a four person team utilize cyclocross bikes, that team will incur a 15 minute time penalty and lose 2 check points from their final tally.  

Mandatory Paddling Gear

Canoes, PFDs, and paddles will be provided. If teams choose to use their own paddles/PFD’s, race management will transport the gear to/from the canoe section.
