Neutral Start

Under 2 w/kg until we pass intersection in tunnel at approximately 1.6 miles after start banner.

To have your ride included and ranked in the results, the name of your Strava activity must include the Race ID HPC and one of the allowed categories specified in parentheses - e.g.Watopia 05/04/2016 - HPC (C)". Categories are A, B, C, D  and W.

Pass the word around to your Zwift friends. Let's get the HPC races BIG!

Race rolls out at 6:10 P.M. 

Choose 'prefer flat roads'.

Course is 3 forward laps of flat route. After completing 3 laps we will go straight at the intersection towards the KOM. This is the only time you will need to manually press the right arrow to go straight versus turning left. After KOM you will be taken automatically to the reverse flat route heading towards the finish. 26.3 miles total.

I will send group text with a countdown at 5 minutes to go, 3, 2,1 minutes to go. Then one last text 'HPC GO'. If other riders want to send a text about rolling out that is fine. For some reason there is always a rider or two that misses the roll out.
