EVENT CHANGES / IMPROVEMENTS FOR 2011
- The route will be the same as the last 2 years', only it will be run in reverse.
- Race T-shirts will be a cotton sports blend and will be available right up until registration ends. If we're out of shirts....there's always a mug!
- New "donut eating/timing" penalty clarification: You must stop and eat at least one donut at each stop. If you do not have a mark on your helmut tag for doing so, you will be assessed a 3 minute penalty for each non-stop.
- Tandems-there will be 1 registration, 1 number and 1 donut tag (all donuts eaten by both). We'll get your partner's info on race day. Race fee for Tandems is $30. Please include both t-shirt sizes on your application.
About the Ride
The “Tour De Donut” bike race is a spoof on the “Tour de France”.
This appetizing 30 mile bike race is a fun race with rest stops
every 10 miles where racers can get water, fruit, first aid, use
the bathroom, and get delectable DONUTS. For every tasty donut eaten,
a temp-ting three minutes are deducted from your official finish
time. There are only two rules: All donuts must be eaten in the
“Donut Zones” and if you toss your cookies- you’re DQ’d. The race
has wellmarked roads, assisted crossings, sag support, awards, prizes
and is tons of fun for families, individuals and even exper-ienced
cyclists. The race begins and ends at Klackle Orchards Family Fun
Farm west of Greenville. The course follows lightly used rural
roads and a paved scenic bike trail. Are you a good enough cyclist
and donut eater to go into negative time? Competitive cyclists-
what’s your strategy? Are you a “glutton” for punishment?
You Can Race or Ride Just for Fun
Keep in mind, 30 miles is no easy task for many mortals! If this
is true for you, your family & friends, and perhaps you are
looking for a less competitive ride, then ride the 10 mile Family
Fun Ride. This group of riders will leave the start shortly after
the racers, however
they will not be issued race numbers nor will they be timed. They
will ride the first 10 miles and “shortcut” to the finish line to
enjoy fresh squeezed cider and apple crisp donuts as their reward.
Perhaps
make it a family challenge! Entry fee is the same and included is
a Fun Ride T-shirt, refreshments, and a chance at some really cool
participant awards.
or Just Enjoy the Post Party Race
The great post-event party includes the awards ceremony, live ent-ertainment,
and of course all the
fun Fall activities offered at the Klackle Orchards Family Fun Farm!
