Subject: RE: American Tobacco Trail 10 Miler : Official ThreadDougRob - 2009-10-20 2:16 PM I am a little dense here. Having never run this before, can you explain the logistics? Are you planning on riding to the start, running the route and then riding back somewhere? Where will you keep your bike? What about changing clothing? Did you receive the information email about the race last night? Parking is unavailable at the race site; that is reserved for volunteers, officials, vendors, the general public wanting to use the trails. Race participants are to park at the USA Baseball facility and ride a shuttle bus over to the race site. I am doing things my way for a couple of reasons: 1 ) my own time schedule. Don't have to wait on the bus either coming or going. 2 ) A nice warmup prior to the run; I need all the flexibility I can get in my tired old hips. 3 ) One less car in the lot over at USA Baseball. 4 ) It's actually closer to my house to drive to New Hill rather than USA Baseball. Logistics: I will drive approx. 6.5 miles to New Hill trailhead with my bike on my roof rack, wearing race clothes, carrying whatever I might need for the race in a backpack. I will ride my bike up to the White Oak trail access (approx. 5.5 miles ) along the ATT, park and lock the bike, and get ready to race. When the race is over, I will then ride it back to New Hill, put it on my roof rack, and drive home approx. 6.5 miles. |
