2020 Design

To further improve your racing experience, we sent out a survey with a few questions about the 2018 race.  We wanted to share some of these results with you.  A few of these questions could help you with future races.  

​

Question 1: When would you like to see UFGG scheduled in 2019?

Answers: Spring (March-May) - 16 (47.06%)

                 Fall (September-November) - 12 (35.29%)

                 In June again - 6 (17.65%)

​

Question 2: When you race UFGG again, which bike would you choose now that you know the course?

Answers: Mountain Bike - 18 (52.94%)

                 Gravel/Cross Bike - 16 (47.05%)

​

Question 3: When would you like the start time for a race in January-May or September-December?

Answers: 8:00 AM - 18 (52.94%)

                 9:00 AM - 15 (44.12%)

                 10:00 AM - 1 (2.94%)

​

Question 4: When would you like the start time for a race in June-August?

Answers: 7:00 AM - 18 (52.94%)

                 8:00 AM - 13 (38.24%)

                 9:00 AM - 3 (8.82%)

Question 5: Open suggestions/comments for future races?

​

Suggestion: If possible convert course to a downloadable file for GPS cyclometers.

Our response: We are working on adding GPS links on our website.

Suggestion: Multiple suggestions for a second water station.

Our response: We feel that an aid station every 25 miles is normally ok.  But having the jeep climb on this route makes for more water use.  Next year we're going to add a second water station at the top of the climb.

​

Suggestion: Posting a video of the race course would be helpful for the folks that haven’t done the race before and don’t have a chance to pre-ride the course ahead of time. This will assist people in their Bike selection as well as the length of the race they should enter.

Our response:  We totally agree with this suggestion.  We're working on adding videos for all of our race routes to their page on our website.

Suggestion: Aid station at top of the big climb. Having only one was sub par even with a shorter loop. Also, if there is a way to have less out-‘n-backs...one continuous loop would be ideal if possible.

Our response: We'd love to take out those out and backs, but not sure it's possible to do that and still keep our distance for each series.  If we would take out the out and backs, it would create more times on the jeep climb.   

Comment: Cant think of anything. Great time.

Our response: Thank you, very glad to hear that!
