Madness in March Cycling Tournament


Here's how it works:


A double elimination indoor cycling tournament the entire month of March. Mixed (one male & one female) two-person teams as seeded by individual Functional Threshold Power (FTP) testing, go head to head with other two-person teams on custom designed ten mile courses until the final four are determined. A one heat fifteen mile championship race will then determine the CompuTrainer Multi-Rider at the Bainbridge Athletic Club Champions. In order to enter you must take either the 20 or 60 minute FTP tests. Testing is ongoing with deadline of February 29. First round action will take place Thursday, March 1. Teams will be selected the evening of Feb 29 using the FTP averages to handicap the entire field as closely as possible*. Team scoring is tabulated in real time by the CompuTrainer software creating a fun and challenging experience. The final four will receive valuable prizes. To enter, simply respond to the Madness in March CompuTrainer Multi-Rider @ BAC Facebook event tab. There is no entry fee, but you must have a valid CT MR @ BAC Race Card.


* A hypothetical example of seeding:


Individual FTP in parenthesis. FTP team total in <<>>



TEAM ONE: Lance (355) and Louise (090) <<222>> versus

TEAM TWO: George (200) and Gina (245) <<222>>


TEAM THREE: Ivan (157) and Ingrid (190) <<173>> versus

TEAM FOUR: Carlos (168) and Connie (177) <<172>>


Pix: Laura joins the group with a 165. Two-person team format in action.

Actually your card has expired, but I didn't want to say anything for fear that I might get sued for something.
