Bike Course
Super Sprint & Sprint: 16.4 miles
Olympic: 40K (24.8 miles)
The bike course is open to traffic. The shoulders of the road are generous on the majority of the course - however there are the requisite and typical potholes and thinner shoulders in a few spots. Your safety and the safety of those riding around you are the utmost priority. Respect these rules for your safety and the safety of others:
1. No passing on the right at any time
2. Ride as far to the right as possible to give others a fair chance to pass on the left without veering into traffic
3. Do not Draft - maintain a 3-bike length between bikes at all times
4. When you are being passed, you must drop back 3 bike lengths. When the person passing you has gotten 3 bike lengths ahead, you may pass at that time if you wish
BIKE COURSE CUT-OFF
As the traffic on State Highway 516 (Kent-Kangley Rd) picks up Sunday Morning, the management of the backup of vehicles becomes more dangerous and difficult in the areas west, south, and east of the park. For that reason, we have put in place a bike cut-off for Olympic Distance athletes. You must complete the first 10 miles of the bike course within 1 hour and 40 minutes. This is at the intersection of Auburn Black-Diamond Road and Lake Holm road - also knows as the "Kelly Latte's" intersection. You will arrive at that intersection at mile 5 for the first time and take a right to do the Lake Holm/Lake Moneysmith loop. Your 2nd visit to that intersection at mile 10 is when you must be through: by 8:40 for men, and by 8:43 for women and relay bikers. If you are past the cut-off, you'll be required to turn left and will become a Sprint athlete for the remaining bike and run (5K) of the race.
If you're concerned that you won't make a cut-off, you might consider switching to the sprint distance race and tackling the Olympic distance next year!
REOPENING OF KENT-KANGLEY TO TRAFFIC
If you find yourself on the bike course sometime after 9:30, you may be faced with an open intersection at Kent-Kangley Rd and Kent-Black Diamond Rd. A volunteer will meet you at the intersection and help you navigate the crosswalks to get back to transition where you can continue with the run and then cross the finish line!
PLEASE NOTE - There was a new bike course for the Sprint and Super Sprint in 2014. Athletes will be doing an out-and-back on Kent Black Diamond road. You will NOT be doing the Lake Holm/Lake Moneysmith loop. Follow all signs and the directions of the volunteers. See maps and descriptions below
