SPRINT POINTS “If ya got it, bring it!”
During the ride, I try to do my best to alert people to these points ahead of time to help you contest the sprints. After the sprints, please try to ease up and SLOW PEDAL to allow the rest of the group to catch up to you.
1. On outbound, sprint begins at sign in median that welcomes you to New Richmond (about ½ mile before Front St.). It ends at the yellow diamond shaped sign on right hand side depicting a stop light. The sign has two orange flags sticking out of it. You can’t miss it.
2. NEW!! On the slight descent down 12 mile just before the stop sign at 132. There is a sign prior to the stop sign at 132 - it's a yellow diamond sign on the right side warning that a stop sign is coming up and is about 200 yards before the intersection; plenty of room to slow down.
3. NEW!! On the return -- Last large green overhead highway sign right before you come off 52.
4. On the return, past Marathon Gas station, sprint to SECOND LARGE RIVERBEND SIGN on left side (about 400m before the light)
5. On return along Kellogg, sprint to the large ODELLS SPORTS BAR sign on the left.
KOM POINTS
1. The school parking lot at the top of Bethel New Richmond Road. This is a long, grueling climb that is made more difficult by the high speed run out to New Richmond. This is a regroup spot, so hold up now and wait for the group.
2. After the top of Faggin’s Run, the KOM point is Gray’s Lane. Not only do you have to get to the top of Faggins, but you need to then SPRINT to Gray’s Lane to take top honors. If you are sprinting, it’s ok to just go straight past Gray’s Lane, then slow and turn around as the group will go left on Gray’s Lane. This is a Regroup Spot so hold up and wait for the group.
