Rules and FAQ
Be rad.

How does the timing work? All laps will be recorded individually by way of marking on our chalkboard at the start finish. The solo, duo, or 4 person team with the most completed laps at the end of 12hrs (or if you start a lap before the 12hr cutoff at 7am or 6hr cutoff at 12am midnight Aug 13th is the official champion of One Night Stand. #walkofshame.
How many laps do I have to ride? As many or as few as you want without making the rest of your team mad, or too sleepy. You guys can figure it out ahead of time or play it by ear at the race. You can ride a lap, take a break while your team members ride, ride two more laps, take an extra long break, ride, break, ride, etc. You get the idea. Completely up to you and your team.
How does the race start? We are doing a Le Mans start at the lake shore, up the road and on to the Red Trail. Approximately a 50 yard dash to your bike and then a short bit on pavement to get everyone spread out before hitting the trail head.
WTF is a Le Mans? The 24 Hours of Le Mans is the world’s oldest running sports car race. When the flag drops, drivers run to where their cars are parked on the track, climb in, start and drive away. We are basically doing the same thing, but with… bikes.
What’s the food sitch? Bring your own food. Bring your own drinks!
Will the course be lit? No. You must bring lights!! Please remember to bring charging cables and devices for lights and or enough lights to get you through the night!
Are lights required? The more the better, but definitely a front light. Charge your lights!!
Podiums…is that happening? Yes. The top 3 solo, duos and teams with the most fully completed laps will be the champions of One Night Stand. A team member must leave on their final lap before the 12 hour mark at 7 a.m. for it to count toward their number of laps completed. This means that a rider can leave on their final lap at 11 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds into the event and complete that lap after the 12 hour mark and it will count. Same rules apply for the 6hr race.
