ARE YOU READY TO ROLL?
Four Peaks Brewing 12 Hours in the Papago, will test you like never before. Get ready for a slightly revised, highly entertaining course for 2013. This will kick off your New Year and get you started on that New Year's Commitment...and possibly kick you in the backside as well...which quite honestly is sometimes what you need....
The Quick 'n Dirty...ride your bike by yourself (solo), with a friend (duo), or with 3 friends (quad)...do this on a looped course in Tempe's infamous Papago Park for 12 hours...it's that simple...you'll have a good time...and if not...well....you should've. In the interest of keeping it fair, if you have a Coed Duo or Quad relay team, that gal must log laps counts within 2 laps of the highest number of laps by a guy on the team.

| Course Description |
START - Lemans style start....yea...run to your bike...hopefully we don't make you sumersault or cartwheel (we have seen it on you tube so don't think we won't or can't)....hop on your steed and roll it....for 12 hours...in a loop...in the Papago
LOOPED COURSE - Papago Park has some great trails and then are broken in weekly with the STP (Short Track Papago) crew during the summer...the loop for this course will be approximately 7.2 miles and have a few spots for you to drop the hammer (ie big ring = fast), a few spots that will make you clutch your brakes, pucker, and yes some single track along side bushes that like to scratch (battle wounds are cool)....did we mention the tunnel?...yea you get to go through a tunnel...we will MANDATE that you dismount, and run through it...but it is stil cool. Stay on your toes...ya never know what else we may add to the course just for the sake of our own entertainment.

Bring It
So here is a short list of stuff to bring...certainly not all inclusive...but a good starting point.
Lights - as daylight dwindles we need you to light up the trail and keep rollin till we call it a day
Warm Clothes - we like you a ton, but don't snuggle with just anyone.
Snacks - treats for you and a friend if you so choose...rice krispy treats, pringles, snickers, coke, a variety of fast food, burritos...soup....anything that sounds good either for a quick pit stop or a team brunch.

Pump
Rain Jacket - ya never know...watch the forecast...we will too.
Baby wipes....you would be surprised how useful they are.
