The "Race", being the Enduro, this Sunday.
As we do every year, those of us coming from eastern Tokyo will be riding out to Nishi-Tachikawa.
The same as last year, we should all be outside the ticket-gates at Nishi Tachikawa station by 9:15, as the park gates will open at 9:30.
The route out will also be the same. Please refer to the following map:
http://www.mapmyrun.com/route/jp/tokyo/403126027519517910
Meeting times and places will be as follows, and are marked on the map with a "P":
7:00 – At the corner of Meiji-Dori & Rte.14 (For Thomas, and possibly David Anderson).
7:30 – At Shinjuku Station; New South Entrance, on Rte.20.
8:30 – Rte.19, Tsurukawa-Kaido & the Tamagawa Cycling Road (at the 39km point on the map).
Last year, four of us braved some of the most atrocious conditions, all in the name of macho posturing, mixed with a little pride and a dash of stubbornness. However, I'm sure I speak for the others when I say, "This year, if it is raining, we will take the train!"
See you all there! Travis
The following is the timetable for the day's events, courtesy of "Yasuhiro".
These were written for last year's race, but remain unchanged.
1) Schedule
9:30 Gate open
9:30 Registration
10:30 Start of Enduro!
14:30 End of Enduro
15:00 Prize-giving ceremony (Time for Go-Go Girls!)
2) Meeting time and place:
9:15 at Nishi-Tachikawa station. Team leader will give you entrance ticket to Showa Kinen Park so do not enter by yourself.
3) Race and course:
- Course is 5km per lap.
- An ankle band (with a chip inside) is given to each team and the participants will take turns riding with the band before handing it to their replacement rider.
- Each team will have their own strategy for when to change riders.
- The winner will be the team with the most laps around the course in 4 hours.
4) Pit (Take-over zone):
- The pit is divided to several areas depending on team number.
- There is no passing in the pit lane.
- Change the ankle band to next rider as fast as possible – our non-riding (cheer-squad) members will be there to help.
5) Other info:
- You cannot ride your bike inside the park.
- There will be no trial runs.
- There are some shops inside the park where you can get snacks, but they are more expensive than convenience stores, and not as well supplied.
- You may recieve a participation prize so I recommend you bring a backpack.
- It is recommended to take a lunch box or something to eat. Combini is just close to the meeting point. (Nishi-tachikawa Sta.)
Let's enjoy the race!
