24 hour prologue of Hot Pursuit 2010

- The Hot pursuit prologue (24 hour time trial) is set for June 27th, beginning at 8:00 AM.

- Location for the first 14 hours is Birds Hill Park.

- Starting point is the road side parking strip on the North Drive opposite the road that leads to the horse stables. The final complete lap (11.2 km/per lap) in the park must be completed by 10:30 PM. After that you start another lap, but you will take the North exit onto Highway #59, back towards Winnipeg. When reaching Wenzel street, turn right towards Birds Hill Town. Then take Hodinott to Henderson Highway.

- The Dr. Hamilton School drive will be the headquarters till 6:30 AM Monday morning.

- From the bus drop-off loop, we go back and forth to Lockport all night. (You will need a head and tail light) The turnaround at Lockport is at the parking area just before you reach Highway #202 before Lockport.

- The finish will be Hyland Park, 1km south of Hoddinott

Participants are responsible to track their own lap times and total distance.

1. Clock wise loop of Birds Hill Park is 11.2 KM

2. Transition loop to DR. Hamilton school (three quarters of a lap in the park and then to the school is 22.5 KM

3. Back and forth to Lockport 28 KM.

You are responsible to develop your own chart and do your own tracking. A great place to involve your crew.

To get a feel for the chase, Arvid has volunteered to be the fox for as many laps as it takes to catch him. He will start 10 Km into his first lap, also at 8:00 AM. The pursuit begins at 8:00 AM. After the relay team(s) catches him, the remainder of the time is used to complete the 24 hour time trial. It should serve as the appetizer for Hot Pursuit.

Participants:

- Arvid (solo)

- CMU team (not all can stay the full 24 hours)

- Winnipeg police (will not likely be able to make work shift arrangements, but some of the riders might stop by)

The event will also be announced as a press lease for www.hotpursuit2010.com

Invite your friends and family. Have a wiener roast or picnic. Enjoy the outdoors, but respect the rules of the road, the park and other people in the park. Please remember, this "fox hunt" is a catch and release only.
