JUNE 2010 FIREMANIRONMAN CAMP ITINERARY
Looks like a great weekend of weather so keep your fingers crossed. Water temps in Mirror Lake are in the low 60SAir temperatures - Highs look in the high 70s to low 80s and lows look in the 50s, as always a chance of scattered thunderstorms. Bring gear for all weather conditions, better to have more than you need than realize you have to buy something because you left it home! Please print this itinerary out you will not receive another one.

Saturday
7:00 AM: High Peaks Cyclery. On the road maintenance class and course overview, at 2733 Main St.
Brian Delaney, owner of High Peaks, gives this informative class. You will be able to ask questions and purchase any last-minute items you may need. http://highpeakscyclery.com/
8:00 AM: Olympic Oval for long bike, two loops, 112 miles.
We will start our ride together after a group photo, starting as one large group. The beginning of the bike course is tricky so please go slow and keep your distance from each other. We will have a vehicle leaving 1 hour after the start to check on all the riders. You will also be given a phone number to call in an emergency only and our vehicle can assist you.
Course variation: Due to the bridge closing on the out and back to Hazelton. This is the unofficial, but we will ride the likely course change that you will encounter on race day if the construction has not been completed. Riding on Rt 9N at approx mile 24 you will, instead of turning left onto Rt. 86 go straight and continue approximately 5 miles towards Au Sable Forks. The street to turn around at is Broad Street. I will try and put some kind of turn-around sign. You will make a u- turn around and head back 5 miles and make a right onto Rt. 86. This puts you back on the original course. The only other variation is you will go down the out and back at Hazelton but only for a mile or so then turn around and head back out and continue on the original course Please review the course variation. We have plotted it for you on mapmyride.com. Copy and paste the link below and print for your records:

Transition run: After completion of your bike you are strongly encouraged to follow up with a transition run. This will be either a 3.7 mile from Cobble, once around the lake or a 6.4 mile run. The 6.4 mile run finishes with a nice steady uphill to the Cobble. There should be a water station in front of High Peaks Cyclery at 4.5 miles and of course at the Cobble.
