Mountain bikers will start the race at the old Saipan Radar station, rocket down the Laderran-Tanke trail, pass Sirena, through the Kalabera cave, and emerge at the Bird Island lookout.
From there, the bikers will pedal on the pavement until they need to turn left and travel up the Kimikaze trail to link up with the coral road behind the Marianas Country Club.
When they reach the million-gallon tank, the bikers will turn left and pedal up back up to the Radar Station.
The recreational riders will complete their race there but the hardcore racers will go for a second lap for all of the top prizes that will be up for grabs!
A Cannondale F9 mountain bike will be raffled after the official race, courtesy of Saipan Bike Pro.
The Cannondale is lightweight enough to be an awesome race bike and durable enough to handle all of the challenges that await riders on Saipan. “It is a great bike to use to prepare for the Northern Passage on Saturday, February 5th, 2011 and the Xterra Saipan Championship on Saturday, March 12th, 2011.” said coordinator Brad Ruszala in an email interview with the Variety yesterday.
There will be t-shirts, cash prizes, and prizes on tap and a whole lot of goodies from sponsors.
“This is my final event of 2010 [that I will organize], but we’ll get going again in 2011.” Race organizer Brad Ruszala told the Variety yesterday via email interview.
