Coaster Brake Challenge!
Purpose:
To have fun, to race, to sweat, breathe hard, to ride hard, to challenge ones self.
We will be hosting 4 Sunday races in the month of January. Each race will have a meet point at 7 am and a race time of 8 am. Most races will be short 1 to 2 hour affairs. Meet points and descriptions of each race will be posted so you know what to expect.
Rules for bikes:
Gearing:
Single speed only. No internal geared hubs (sturmey-archer, bendix two speed kick backs etc.) no derailleurs of any kind. No external gearing. No gears. No fixed gear. Each race will usually require a different gear ratio and you can have any gear ratio you wish.
Drive system:
The rear hub must be a coaster brake. Single speed coaster brake only. No two-speed kick backs, etc (I know what they look like) Some coaster brakes are better than others, do your homework and get a good one. Cranks of any kind may be used as well as pedals.
Braking system:
Coaster brake only on the rear wheel only. No hand brakes of any kind. No secondary braking system of any kind. No drum brakes, no cables, rods, levers, etc of any kind. You pedal forward to go forward and back to stop. Nothing else.
Frame:
Preference for old double bar cruisers but there are no frame restrictions.
Forks:
Any.
Wheels/tires:
You can have any kind of hoop/tire combo. I suggest a light wheelset that you've laced a coaster brake into.
Handlebars etc.
Everything else is left up to the individual rider.
Rules for riders:
No substitutions.
Bring stuff to fix your bike on the trail with you.
No crybabies.
You must have a digital camera or a phone that can take pictures. (to prove you went to various points)
Entry Fee and what you get:
The Entry Fee is $20.00 for all four races, that's 5 bucks a race.
You get a T-shirt.
You get a Patch.
Perhaps some schwag, we'll see.
Scoring:
Each rider will get a number and you will be scored as thus:
1 point for entering a race
1 additional point for a third place finish
2 additional points for a second place finish
3 additional points for a first place finish
Each first place rider will get a trophy made from old bike parts!
At the end of the series the point leader will be the overall champ. Best to show up to each race to increase your odds.
