Pre-registration of Teams
For the 2012 Carolina Flèche event, it is suggested that no 2 teams start from exactly the same starting location/address, but if you must use the same starting address, then team start times of one hour apart will be assigned to the teams.
You may start within the range of the RUSA allowed start times/date.
Please consider planning your start times for Friday morning, April 6, 2012, which will allow all teams to finish closer to the same time for an after Fleche gathering of all riders.
Remember that teams may start at the finish location and do a loop or an out and back route!
2012 Finish location will be Coastal North Carolina
