Essential Guide
Welcome to our 24 Hours of Summer Solstice Event (most of this applies to our Epic 8 Hour as well)! Whether you’re a seasoned participant or your first time, here’s a quick guide to ensure you make the most of the event.
Form Your Dream Team
Gather friends you’d love to ride and camp with. This forms the base of your team. Our Chico team is friendly, and we’ll work with you if you miss anything. We’re about inclusivity first!
Registration & Team Management
- Appoint a team manager to kick-start the registration process.
- Choose a category that suits your team best.
- Chico Tip: Ensure commitment from your teammates by having them pay for their spots upfront. Keep a list of backup riders, in case someone falls sick or can’t make it. Alternatively, our rider find forum is a great place to find teammates before the event!
Complete the Essentials
All team members should complete online waivers before the event. We’ll email them out to you a few weeks prior to the event.
Campsite Setup
Arrive and set up at your designated campsite. This will be your base for the event, so make it cozy!
Event Package Collection
Assign a team member to collect your event packages from the chalet before the event starts.
Team Captain's Meeting
Join the team captain’s meeting at 11 am (an hour before the start, 9:30 am for Epic 8). It is important to be informed about any new rules, regulations, or course changes. Anyone from your team is welcome to attend this briefing.
Get Set, Ready!
Riders must obtain a sticker for their number plate, indicating they’re approved and ready to hit the track. Just show you completed the waiver to obtain your sticker.
The Race Begins
- Kick-off with one rider from your team at 12:00 pm (10 am for Epic 8).
- The freedom is yours! Assign any rider for any lap, whenever you like.
- Taking a break? That’s okay! Simply return your timing chip to the timing tent. When you’re recharged and ready, you can restart.
