Sunday June 19th sees rideoffroaduk running Round 1 of the Awesome Iron Man Challenge at Low North Park near Scarborough.
The format for the event is simple, an "Open Challenge" class for Expert and Clubman grade riders, either iron man or two-man team, and "Club Challenge" class for Sportsman, beginner, All Vets and Ladies class riders, iron man or two man team. One race starting at 11am sharp running for four hours
By far the most popular choice as competitor's book in is the two man team event. By simplifying the classes, Expert and Clubman can team up in the "Open Challenge", or Sportsman, Vets and beginners can do the same in the "Club Challenge".
Special rates for pre paid two-man team entries, solo iron man entries have only a slight increase on usual club races.
The two-man team atmosphere will be great to see, friends and rivals team up for the weekend, they ride for as long as they like, incorporating exciting pit lane changeovers, this allows riders to take a well earned break during the event while their partner is out clocking up the laps. Riders can share or use their own machine with same race number as their partner.
The Solo Iron man class is one race alone for 4 hours, pits stops, race strategy and a desire to succeed are the vital ingredients for a good result in this class.
The super long course will be around 18 minutes per lap, incorporating massive woodland areas, the MX track, stream crossings and many open tracks and trails.
The event starts at 11am sharp, catering and all the facilities which Low North Park boasts will be on site. Riders and families are encouraged to make a weekend of it by camping over, gates open Saturday 9am. Sat Nav Postcode YO13 OLA.
