Solo and E Bikes: Riders in the Solo categories are to compete by themselves for the duration of the event. It is recommended that these riders have a support crew of at least one person located at the event hub. Riders will compete with the objective to achieve as many laps as possible over the 6-hour timeframe. E-bikes will not be able to charge batteries or exchange batteries or bikes during the event. Once the 6-hour timeframe expires, the first rider with the most laps to cross the finish line will win the category.

Pairs and E bikes: Riders in the Pairs categories compete as a duo with only one rider from the pair on the course at a time. Riders share laps during the event by ‘tagging’ each other in the change-over area at the event hub. E-bikes will not be able to charge batteries or exchange batteries or bikes during the event. Once the 6-hour timeframe expires, the Pair with the most laps who cross the finish line will win the category.

Riders in the Teams categories compete as a group with only one rider from the team on the course at a time. Riders share laps during the event by ‘tagging’ each other in the change-over area at the event hub. E-bikes will not be able to charge batteries or exchange batteries or bikes during the event. Once the 6-hour timeframe expires, the Team with the most laps who cross the finish line will win the category. Teams can be comprised of either 3 or 4 riders.
