RRR 2013 Details
August 11, 2013 @ Bryant University
Click here to register.
- The Ride
- Location: Bryant University, 1150 Douglas Turnpike Smithfield, RI
- Distance: The routes will be approximately 25, 50 and 75 miles long (riders may select their route the day of the ride)
- Terrain: All three routes will have a mix of gently rolling roads and challenging climbs
- There will be light-moderate automobile traffic
- Busy sections will likely have volunteers to increase visibility and promote safety
- Map: Available by 6/1/13; people with GPS/smartphones will be able to download course files
- Support: All three routes will be fully supported by volunteers who will ride alongside RRR cyclists of all abilities to offer support - both mechanical and motivational. There will also be two "sag wagons" donated by Caster's driving the routes to provide mechanical assistance or a ride back to the start for any cyclists/bicycle in need
- Gear
- Helmets are required for ALL riders - without an appropriate helmet, you will not be permitted to ride
- A road bike is ideal for all routes, and strongly recommended for the 75-mile route. A hybrid or road bike is suggested for the 50-mile; a road, hybrid, mountain, single-speed/fixed-gear, or cruiser bike would be workable for the 25-mile route. (These are only recommendations; cyclists will not be prevented from riding their desired route based on their style of bicycle)
- Jersey: The first 300 people to register by May 28, 2013, (and who meet the fundraising requirement) will receive a custom RRR cycling jersey at check-in, to be worn during the ride; it will include three rear pockets to hold bars/gels/tools/etc., and will have a full zipper for ventilation. Other riders will receive a t-shirt, and possibly a jersey from a previous RRR
- The Training
- A general guideline for training is that the distance you typically ride in one week can be ridden in one day
- For maximum comfort and enjoyment on ride day, it is recommended that you:
- Have ridden a few rides of at least 2/3s the distance of your intended route during the the summer - particularly one or two in the weeks leading up to the ride
- Average around 125% of the miles of your intended route for each week starting in July and ending early August ...it's nice to give yourself an easy week leading up to the ride
- The Mission
- We are riding to support cancer treatment
- Fundraising is a crucial part of what it means to participate in Ride 'Round Rhody
