Race format:
Each Rider must check in to all the locations before returning back to Rook Cycles HQ. The first rider checked in at all locations and back to the shop wins. There are podiums for fixed gear / single speed & geared bikes.
Manifest ( a list of locations ) will be available 10 mins prior to race start.Each rider studies the manifest and plots his / her route to all the check ins.
How to check in:
Each check point features a QR code on display. Scanning this QR code allows you to join a WhatsApp group that is named according to your location. Example: Scan the code at Max Bagels and you’ll join the “Max Bagels Checkpoint” group on WhatsApp. This allows us to keep track of who checked in where and who got there first.
NOTE: do not leave the whatsapp groups until the race is completely over.
Scanning a check in QR code:
Newer smart phones are able to scan these codes right from the camera app.If your smartphone does not support this native feature, you will need to download one of the many free QR code scanning apps.
