Timing

The Binge is a party on two-wheels studded with races on timed segments. Party a little, race a little…get it?

So how are the winners selected? Timing partner, Start2Finish, will do the work using timing chips to capture your time on each timed segment and then the times will be added together to see how you placed compared to other riders on your route. Your time in between segments doesn’t matter (except for certain maximum cut-off times). Roll, chat, and enjoy the beautiful scenery!
