24 Hours of DINO
Saturday, Sept 11-12, 2010
24 HOURS? 24 HOURS? Your team (up to six riders) can take turns in a relay race, perhaps covering as much as 300 miles on the fantastic Versailles State Park trail system! Or, take a real challenge and go 24-hour solo. Various divisions are listed below. In addition to the 24-hour divisions, 12-hour team and solo as well as a new 6-hour solo category is available. 24 Hours of DINO is much more than a race! Through the duration of the event you will dig deep within yourself. You will feel the anticipation at start time. You will experience the drama playing out in the final minutes with a time-cutoff finish. You'll experience the challenge of night riding. You'll feel the joy of a sunrise lap. You will make friendships and memories that will last! DIVISIONS 24-HOUR TEAM: 12-HOUR SOLO: 12-HOUR TEAM: 6-HOUR SOLO:
SCHEDULE OF EVENTS (Eastern Daylight Time):
DINO FOLLOWS USA CYCLING RULES: Available online here. RACE RULES: All riders must check in Friday evening from 6-8PM or Saturday morning from 9-11AM and attend the rider meeting at 11:30PM. A LeMans style (running) start may be used to spread the field. All divisions will start together. Standings will be measured by number of laps completed. Riders on the same lap will be ranked by the lowest clock time at the lap / finish point. Scoring ends at the cutoff time - any lap completed after cutoff does not count! Mechanical support may be provided only in the pit area. During the lap, each rider must be entirely self sufficient. Once in the pit (not during a lap), a rider may change bikes or any equipment. Food and drink may be provided to riders only in the designated feed zone near the lap line. At least one headlight and a spare light source are required on the course after 6:30PM. SOLO: A designated solo-only pit area will be marked off and bike racks are provided. One tent or one vehicle may be placed adjacent to the solo pit area. Each rider is limited to 10' frontage along the marked pit area. Riders exiting the course for any reason must use the pit area to exit the course and return to the course. Soloists may race 24, 12, or 6 hours. TEAM: Team divisions are: 2 riders, 3-4 riders, and 5-6 riders (5-6 rider teams in 24-hour race only). Relay-style exchanges will be allowed only after each full lap, at the pit area. Teams may use any strategy of rider rotation desired. Each rider must complete at least one lap. AWARDS: Though the whole point of this event is simply to have fun, we'll award trophies or plaques to each team member or soloist who ranks in the top three of each division.

Camping is $5 per person per night for spectators. Please add spectator meals and camping to your entry fees, or contact DINO. COURSE: 24 Hours of DINO Course is an epic 13 mile loop, having some of Indiana's finest singletrack. This trail has nice vistas, long yet gradual climbs, and sweet flowing downhills. The course uses nearly all of the trail system, in the clockwise direction for 2010. The route begins gently this year, with a relatively flat first two miles on Turtle and Creekside, then climbs up Grandview to the aid station near mid-way. Using a bit of Center Loop, the route continues on to Cliffide, one of the most amazing trails around. Finally, Shadow Run's meandering upper portion leads to a mile-long downhill finish at the trail head..
