Mountain bike race?

[heavyfoot]

What's this about a mountain bike race on the trail in a month or so? Does that affect hikers?

Just don't start your hike in Denver at 6 am on 7/30 and you probably won't even notice.

The race is done every year. It is a ad-hoc race with no fees, prizes, etc. It is very small. Around 30 or so start and some drop out. The fast riders do it in less than 5 days, and the slower ones take as many as 10 days, so they become spread out along the trail with little impact on hikers.

They'll pass me but it sounds like NBD, then. Thanks for the info.

Where does the Add-hoc come into play,how does it work?

I've done such races, and "ad hoc" usually means it's advertised as a totally open, voluntary event. There's no organization, no support, no entry fees, no sign in-- kind of like "show up on your bike, and we'll race."
