Signage
There will be NO ORANGE ARROWS!
Seriously, just don't cross the course tape and you will be good. It is only 3k, you got this!
Odyssey Medical
Odyssey Medical will be on site to take care of any first aid issues. If you or a rider near you is injured during the race call Odyssey Medical (on number plate) or report to one of the Aid Stations.
What bike can I ride?
Any bike you like!
The course is a proper cyclocross course so a 'cross bike will likely be best, but if your tires are a bit wider, or if you ride a gravel bike, or a mountain bike that is cool. You can ride a road bike with some treads if you want. (Word on the street is that you can squeeze a narrow cross tire onto an old 80's or early 90's road bike, if that is your jam!)
We want a fun, competitive day of racing, some music, food, and heckling Barry Cox and/or Spags.
Substance Projects' Weather Guarantee
Weather is always challenging and can completely change a race. So we developed the Substance Projects 100% Weather Guarantee: We guarantee that 100% of the course will have weather.
If any section doesn’t have weather we will refund you that percentage of your entry fee upon proof there was no weather.
Whining Policy
We have a strict "No Whining" policy. If it was all easy and downhill then it wouldn’t feel like you accomplished anything!
Inclusive Race
These are races for everyone! In the spirit of equity and inclusion we celebrate difference and especially encourage those who have historically been excluded from sport.
See our Inclusion Statement on our About Us page.
Cancellation / Refunds
There are NO REFUNDS for those who can’t make it on race day or for cancellation of the event for any reason.
If the event cannot proceed, registrants will have their entry carried over to the re-scheduled date or have credit for another Substance Projects Event.
