Information

1. The race is at Johnny's Pizza on N. Highland on Saturday November 4th and Sunday November 5th.
2. Show up early! Everyone must be registered, paid, and have the waiver signed by 11:30 Saturday OR THEY CAN NOT RACE. There will be no parking available at Johnny's so please ride over or arrange a drop-off. The registration table will be outside in the parking lot (we are also looking for volunteers to man the registration table and help out during the race so look for a sign up sheet for that as well).
3. There will be a small space for sleeping at Johnny's after closing hours so bring a pillow. (But feel free to leave Johnny's for sleeping/eating/etc.)
4. There will be 3 bands performing Saturday night:
   • The Lasch 7:45
   • Cassavetes 8:45
   • Arizona 10:00
5. PBR will be available at Johnny's with a special deal: you pay $5 for a mug and get $1 refils for the entire race (and any Friday night you go to Johnny's in the future!) Everyone is encouraged to have a good time but please be responsible about drinking and cycling. No one is responsible for your stupidity but yourself. Riding a bicycle while intoxicated is against the law.
6. There will be hand-screened posters and T-shirts, as well as various other merchandise, available for sale at the race so remember your folding money!
7. The race ends at 12:00 pm on Sunday - the last rider must be in before then for the lap to count. Closing ceremonies including prizes will commence at 12:30 pm.
8. Working front and rear visibility lights are required (by us and by law) for racing at night. Helmets are highly recommended.
9. Non-racers may hang out and party during Johnny's regular hours. Once the bands start at 7:30, it will be $5 for non-racers to watch the show. When Johnny's closes at 3am, only registered racers can stay.
10. Suggested Route: clicky

12. Stay positive, have fun, ride bikes!
