What if I don’t have a bike GPS device?
Having a gps bike computer is not essential but you will at least need a smartphone and a way to attach it to your handle bar. Download the Strava app. It's free. And use the route function on it to follow the route.
How to use Strava for navigation?
Once you have the GPS of event uploaded, which we clearly show you how to do in out "How To Video's", you simply open the app on your phone. Select "Profile" and the bottom of the screen. Scroll down until you see "Routes". Click on it and all maps that you have saved will appear. Simply select "Use Route" and then follow the line on the map. Just make sure your going the right way.
What is stopping people from cheating?
Nothing. However, all activities will be analyzed for abnormal speeds. Any people proved to have cheated will be publicly shamed and banned from entering another legend event again. Other racers are free to contest other peoples results and if speed is found to be far and beyond what was previously capable then that person’s time may be removed.
All that being said, and although this is a race, it’s meant to be a bit of fun. Its about getting out there and pushing yourself. All finishers are legends.
Do you have to ride solo?
No. In fact we encourage group rides. However, follow government guidelines in regard to Covid 19 restrictions.
This will have the effect of having many mini races over the season. This may cause people who ride solo to think that they have a disadvantage and as a result may not enter. If this is you then please don’t enter. This race is for legends. And legends will always fight, no matter what the odds.
Is this a race?
Yes, even though you’re not racing other people directly once you start the clock the time doesn’t stop. So those coffee breaks will be included in your over all time. After completion of a race you upload your activity and once it has been verified your time will be placed on the leaderboard. Whoever, is on top of the leaderboard at the end of the season (midnight 30th of September) will be crowned the winner and Ultimate Legend of that event.
Do I have to start at the start line?
No. For any looped route you can start anywhere along the route as long as you complete the entire distance and finish where you started. You must also travel in the direction that the course has been designed.
Any point to point races will have to be started at the designated point.
Does my time carry over from last year?
No. Every session starts fresh meaning you will have to stay fit to remain a Legend.
