Ringwood Rumble

[Team Town Cycle]

Ok, we're slowly getting the routes up for the Ringwood Rumble - here's the Strava route for the Cat 2 lap - https://strava.app.link/swRBT0HBuV. Cat 2's will do one long lap.
Here's the Strava route for the Cat 3 lap - https://strava.app.link/lJo5G0PCuV. Cat 3's will do 1 lap. First timers route - https://strava.app.link/VbyfOY3GuV. First timers will do 2 laps.

Cat 1 lap will hopefully be done tomorrow - we ran it and it was a little short, so we're scoping out a segment to add.

GPS files soon!

What is the terrain on this course? I only rode Ringwood once at the mountain bike festival and it was pretty Rocky and slow going

It's a race. So it'll be rocky & fast going.

So dangerous as all hell, gotcha!?

Just curious, why are the first timers doing 2 laps and everyone else doing 1? Is it an easier course?? I would think it would be a total opposite.

 

[MadisonDan]

They're two different loops.
Cat 3 is 3.34 mile 425 ft
First timers and younger Cat 3 is 2.07 mile 217ft
Presumably the shorter loop is easier too...

 

[MissJR]

@Team Town Cycle with so many different loops, how will each loop be marked? different colored arrows/tape?

 

[Dajerseyrat]

Can I do the harder loop/cat3 if I never raced before but am a fairly experienced rider??

 

[Team Town Cycle]

Yes, they will be marked with different color arrows- they'll let you know your color at the start of the race (or I'll try to find out beforehand!!)

You are correct sir!

 

[Team Town Cycle]

So are you asking if you can race as a Cat 2 if you haven't raced before, and you want to do the 9 a.m. (medium length) race?

Shorter easier course, yes.

 

[Steve Vai]

Is there an option to ride all of the loops?

No I'm asking if I can do the Cat 3 45+ as opposed to the cat 3 first timers.
