"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

Sunday Bike Race on Hwy 285 - when and where to avoid was created by ScienceChic
While I was driving up the hill yesterday, I saw a sign that suggested taking an alternate route for Sunday's bike route. I wondered if I needed to take I70 through Evergreen or if I could cut over sooner and what times would be good to avoid 285 - here's some info in case you were wondering the same:

Schedule
RIDE DAY - SUNDAY, AUGUST 21, 2011
5:45 - 7:00 am:
100-mile riders begin. This is the earliest you can start to ride because we need to make certain all of the volunteers, State Patrol, Jefferson County Sheriff, aid stations and emergency personnel are in-place. It will still be twilight if you start at this time – be certain to come prepared with reflective clothing. Century riders MUST depart no earlier than 5:45 am and no later than 7 am.
8:30 - 9:30 am: 62-mile riders begin. You MUST start the ride within the designated window for your course.
9:30 - 10:00 am: 33-mile riders begin. You MUST start the ride within the designated window for your course.
1:45 pm: 100-mile riders must reach Waypoint #1 by this time to continue on the ride.
4:30 pm:100-mile riders must reach Waypoint #2 by this time to continue on the ride.
11:00 am - 6:30 pm: PARTY TIME! Barbecue, music and free beer
WAYPOINT DEADLINES
For your safety, achieve each location by a certain time of day so we can insure you get back to the finish line while it is still light out and the course is still fully supported by our volunteers and emergency personnel. You must reach each point by the listed time in order to continue on the ride.
Waypoint #1: North Turkey Creek and Highway 73
Century riders must reach this point by 1:45 PM
This location is 53.3 miles into the course and just past Aid Station #6 at Marshdale Elementary School

This location is 82 miles into the course at the Intercanyon Fire Station before doing City View a 2nd time.
