Coaster Brake Challenge Race #1

01.3.10

Purpose:



To have fun, to race, to sweat, breathe hard, to ride hard, to challenge ones self. This is the anti-race race. Don't kid yourself it's hard, you may crash or puke (or both) but we are down for the fun and camaraderie more than the podium. Well, there is no podium but I think you get the point.



We will be hosting 4 Sunday races in the month of January. Each race will have a meet point at 7am and race at 8am. 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.



Race dates: January 3rd, 10th, 17th, &24th.



A note on races:



Spectators:



Some of these races are fun to watch and can be easily accessible for speciation. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being best the ability to spectate will be rated.



Meat Pylons:



We're not the only ones out there people, so you will need to yield to horses and peds as best you can. The higher the number, the more Meat Pylons you'll have to deal with. Ride safe and be respectful of others. On cold days, expect the number to be lower. It should be cold. Bring water, you'll need it.







Race #1 The Bunny Hill

Meet point



Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf



6401 Platt Avenue

West Hills CA, 91367



January 3rd



7 AM meet time, leave for race @ 8:00 AM



Spectators: 10



Meat Pylons: 6











Looping course with a combination of fire road and single track, total length is around 3/4 of a mile and we will be doing 8 laps. A few features to be wary of are on the first leg of single track there is a sink hole that you'll need to be watch out for. Also there is a small but steep and technical climb that you'll have to ride or run up each time, the rest is easy, buttery single track through a bunch of trees. After the hill, go past the fence and hang a right. There are several parallel paths on the back side of this course that do join together, be wary of merging riders. Should be relatively bike and ped free on the back side free but will have peds and dogs on the starting leg, watch your calves.



















Rules for bikes:



Gearing:



Single speed only. No internal geared hubs (sturmey-archer, bendix two speed kick backs etc.) no derailleur of any kind (A chain tensioner is fine). 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. We have found that 30-36 in the front and 18-22 in the back is the range best suited for this event, see what works best for you.



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. See below for more info. 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. We have found that cruiser frames and lower end frames with a horizontal dropouts work the best. Frames with a rigid dropout are difficult to get proper chain tension.



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.
