Rok Registration 2022!

 Hello All -


So we're back on for 2022! Pretty much the same details as always...

What: Ragnarok 105
When: April 2, 2022 (hoping for no blizzards this weekend!)

Where: Red Wing, MN

HOW:

We're going to be doing registration pretty much the same as we always have. We will be capping the registration at 150 riders as we have the last couple of years, and will be utilizing a lottery, again as we have in the past. If less than 150 folks send in their postcard, and you properly get a postcard into our hands, then you'll be in.

Where do you send the postcard? This year we're going to have you send the cards to Jake. If you are local to Denver, CO maybe you can drop them off... otherwise here is his address:

Ragnarok 105 
c/o Jake Huot
2808 N Humboldt St
Denver, CO 80205

Some "rules" for the cards:

1) Try to send an actual postcard. They aren't that hard to find, and they are much easier for us to manage.
2) One postcard per person. If you start to send in multiple cards they will all be thrown out.
3) Don't send in a card for anyone but yourself. A key point of this event is that, as a rider, you are responsible for yourself. This begins with the postcard. (Note... obviously we won't be able to tell if your significant other or kid sent in a card for you, but if we get 6 cards for you and your friends in the same pen, same handwriting, all at the same time... that isn't cool... again a postcard isn't that hard).
4)Make sure your handwriting is legible.

The card needs three things:

(1) Name
(2) email address
(3) The statement: "I am responsible for myself"

Postcards will be received starting Black Friday (November 26, 2021) and must be postmarked by December 31, 2021.

To let the straggler cards in we'll probably do the lottery on or around January 15, 2022.

Any questions? Post them up here (or however you want to try and contact us... we have a facebook page... instagram... rideragnarok105@gmail.com etc...)

Thanks - Jake

Rok Results - 2021

 We'll see how the Excel formatting flies over to this archaic blogger medium...

UPDATED 4/16!!!




Thanks again for coming out and challenging yourselves with the Rok. Next year should be more of the same. We'll try and have a date picked out shortly and maybe a few wrinkles thrown in for good measure.

Thanks - Isaac

It is race week!

 Hi All -

Jake hit send on an important email last weekend... I'm bad at the internet, but will try to get the info all here for people to digest... 


"Rok Riders,


This year once again will look different.  Attached is a COVID health sheet that you will have to  print and fill out, a waiver that will need to be printed and filled out, and your tulip notes to complete the course.  There will be plastic bins at the start to put the COVID and race waiver in before you start. 

We will be starting in waves five minutes apart.  You need to stay in or around your car with a mask on until your wave starts.  You will be allowed to approach the start line 2 minutes before your wave starts with your mask on!  Once you get out on course you will be able to remove your mask while riding.  If you enter a town or a store please put your mask on.  NONE OF THIS IS OPTIONAL!

Your start time is: (see PDF)

You truly are on your own this year.  There will not be checkpoints.  We may have timing... we will at least have a finish line.  If you care about timing, I suggest you keep it for yourself and email it to us, we can then post it for all the world to see.  

You are responsible for yourself.  You need to have a back up plan if things go wrong.  There are parts of the course you will not have cell service."


I will try and clarify some finer points of things throughout the week.

files if you lost the email...
