Southstar is running this event as part of the Rotorua Bike Festival, here's all the details:

Date: Monday 28th October 2019 11am

Event Description: Ride one timed run on Eagle Vs Shark Track, with no chain and therefore no pedalling. Focus on coasting, pumping and flow. We have tried it and it is possible!
 
Event Practice: Shuttles are operating daily, you can practice whenever you want! 
 
How do I get my chain off?  Bike mechanics will be onsite to remove your chain.  Bring a bag or container for it.  The mechanic at the bottom will put it back on.

Passing etiquette: If you’re coming up behind someone call “Passing on Right” or “Passing on Left” .  If you hear someone saying that, pull over to the opposite side.  If you don’t know your left from your right – write in on your arms.

Lemonade: This event is alcohol free, for a gold coin donation at the finish entrants will receive a hand made lemonade made from real lemons at the kids lemonade stand


Volunteers: Keen to help out?  We need marshals for 1 spot on-course and we need some helpers to help take chains on and off.  Call Jeff Carter on 021619954 if you can help out
