From May through September, the three category groups (A, B, C) may or may not include a Yellow Beacon Team Leader. 

Team C will start first, followed by Team B, with Team A departing last. The goal is for the faster teams behind to catch Team C at or near the finish, with all three teams holding their respective advertised pace. Starting time gaps may be adjusted during the season to ensure a close finish.

The pace efforts for each team are as follows:

- Team C: 2.5 to 3.1 watts per kilogram (w/kg).
- Team B: 3.2 to 4.0 w/kg.
- Team A: 4.1 to 5.0 w/kg.

All rides include a 30-minute Late Join period. During this time, dropped riders can use the Late Join feature to rejoin. If you find that the team you selected is either too fast or too slow for your pace, you can switch teams within the first 30 minutes of the start time of the team/category you would like to join..

We do not sweep during the first 30 minutes of a ride. If you fall behind for any reason during this time, we recommend using the Late Join feature. We usually do not have designated sweepers (Red Beacon). After the first 30 minutes, if you get dropped and want to rejoin your team, please send a message in the format HELP(X), where X is the number of seconds you are off the back (for example, HELP5). If you reach out early, one or more stronger riders may come to assist you.

We look forward to having you join us. It will be an excellent endurance adventure!
