360 Happy Hour Cycling Club
About the event
Mile High 360's 1st annual R3Team Time Trial is a new spin on the traditional team time trial. While the course is locked in (35 miles in Morrison), each team of five riders can ride the course as many times as they want and in any fashion (as individuals, as a group of five, or in small groups). There is no specific ride date; however, each rider must submit his/her fastest time, using STRAVA and the MH360 Team by August 15th.
The first component of the team's score is the cumulative time of each rider's fastest time. The second component of the team's score is how much money they can raise. Each rider's minimum raise is $750. $250 of that $750 is the registration fee. So, raising another $500 is the low bar. For each dollar raised, the rider gets to shave 1 second off their time. To keep the fundraising fair, we would like all donations to be $100 or less.
- The course will be posted by July 1st, on this website.
- The fundraising website will be set up by July 1st
- The dinner party, for all riders, will be Wednesday, August 20th.
Race
Build your team of five and register each person here. Registration is $250 per rider and covers your team kit, from Pactimo, and the celebratory dinner on August 23rd.
Download the course here and then join the MH360 STRAVA group so that we can see your times.
Race the course as many times as you want and then submit your fastest time by August 15th.
Raise
Once you have registered and built your fundraising page (you will donate $250 to your own page and that is your registration fee), you are ready to start asking friends, family, and colleagues to "join me" in supporting future first-generation college graduates as they work their way to and through a postsecondary institution.
There is a limit to the size of an ask, $100. And, every person you ask will expressly not be put into our email database. Each person who donates will receive a thank-you letter but that is it.
For each dollar that you raise, 1 second will be deducted from your submitted time. The more $$ the lower your time!
Revel
When the racing is done and we have calculated the fastest times... and when we have adjusted the times for all of the funds that have been raised to support Mile High 360's health and wellness programming (e.g., cycling, nutrition, human development, and counseling)... it will be time to revel.
When? August 23rd at 6:00pm
Where? One of Frank Bonanno's amazing restaurants.
Attire? Colorado chic
Who? All R3 riders
We will celebrate our efforts and its impact on Mile High 360's students. We will announce the winners and toast then podium winners. And, of course, we will eat and drink our way through the evening.
Rules of the R3Team Time Trial
Please wear your helmet and keep your chinstrap buckled.
Motorized traffic will be present. Roads are not closed down for your rides.
Stop at stop signs and lights. STRAVA stops recording when you are stopped. There is no need to blow through stop signs and lights.
All of us are riding for time. That doesn't mean you ignore other riders, walkers, or motorists. Please communicate, nicely, with everyone around you.
Team riding requires more attention than riding alone. If you are tackling the course as a team instead of as an individual, be extra careful. Try to be as predictable as possible.
Because there isn't a specific ride day and the roads are open, every rider is responsible for providing their own hydration and snacks. 35 miles is not a bone crushing distance; however, it isn't a walk-in-the-park at your top speed. Be prepared.
