Important Information for LOSHRS Racers
The infamous '100 Miler' is coming up fast - Sat Aug 17 to Sun Aug 18, at PCYC. The 4th event in the LOSHR series is unique -
(i) it's the only overnighter in the series.
(ii) its a stand-alone race - you can participate in just this one and still win some hardware with short term bragging rights.
(iii) its a mandatory race in the overall LOSHR series results - you have to race in this one if you're gunning for top spot in your LOSHR division.
(iv) it's a qualifier for the Great Lakes Single Handed Society (GLSS) - requiring 24 hr or 100 miles non-stop (whichever takes longer).
It is highly recommended that all participants attend the Skippers meeting.
Skippers Meeting is on Fri Aug 16 @ 7:30pm at PCYC. On the agenda is:
· Updates to the SI's
