The Transition Area

Hey, we really DO listen to your suggestions!  A few races ago some bikers expressed concern about entering the "thru" bike lane from the transition area.  They were concerned that they were entering a fast traffic lane from a dead stop.  We agreed and the 'fix' is an improvement for the race finishers, as well.

We have changed the finish chute/lane so that runners turn into the chute just before the transition area (see the map, below).  This means finishers will not have to cross the transition area, a potential danger spot.  Even better, this allows us to use the lane previously used for the race finish as a bike transition lane.  Bikers leaving the transition area will be able to build up to speed in this lane before merging with the 'thru' bike traffic.

Thanks for the great new transition area map go to our long time committee member Rick Roy!
