The Core Crew isn't going to be able to put on a "live" La Tierra
Torture race this year so we're going virtual! We want to give you
a reason to put in a hard ride and see who's been staying fit. Your
registration fee will help Glorieta Camps build over 6 miles of new
trails that will hopefully be part of future races and make for fun
riding anytime!
Full details below and on the Registration
page.
With live racing season likely to be non-existent for the rest of
2020. The CORE Crew has a alternative event starting August 30th,
2020. Please consider participating in the 2020 Virtual La Tierra
Torture, all proceeds will go to Glorieta Camps for their trail
program. At present, they are actively building new trails for all
of us to enjoy. Registration is only 20 dollars.
https://www.bikereg.com/virtual-la-tierra-torture Use this event as
motivation to ride and push your limits while supporting a great
trail system.
This is a mountain bike event so please use a mountain bike for your
ride(s). You pick the time and trails for your ride. This is
necessary for our handicap system to be as fair as possible. This
event is going to be a little different in that there are only going
to be 3 categories, 1 hour, 2 hours and 3 hours. Please read the
event notes on the registration page for the specific parameters for
each category. We will use a handicap system to equalize age group
results. This is the same system used in the TransPortugal 8 day
mountain bike race. You will need to enter Male or Female and your
age category so we can make the handicap adjustments for you.
Just like the actual race, you can keep pushing all the way to the
end, or decide if you've had enough before then. You will keep track
of your mileage and elevation climbed. We will then handicap your
results using the following formula: Female 14%, M & F Over 40
years of age, 41-45, 2%; 46-50, 5%; 51-55, 9%; 56-60, 14%; 61-65,
19%; 66-69, 24%; 70+, 30%. For example if a female is 55 her
handicap is 23%. It sounds complicated, but we will do all the math
for you. Please make sure to send us your results as soon as you
complete the challenge. When sending us your results include the
name you registered for this event with, your age, sex and contact
email so we can communicate with you if necessary. We have made the
following form for you which includes this vital information. Please
submit your results by midnight October 5th, 2020.

continued good health and the Glorieta Camps trails.
