Introducing The Hornets Cold Weather Challenge. Other Clubs have done this both locally and nationally and now it is our turn. Results and updates will be posted here and on other forums including modernvespa.com... Here is the 411:
THE OFFICIAL RULES
1.All rides must be on a two-wheeled motorscooter. No motorcycles. No sidecars. No three-wheelers (Yes, the Piaggio MP3 has three wheels and is ineligible.)
2.Entries must meet the minimum distance requirement of just 5 miles of continuous riding. List your distance in miles (to one decimal place if desired), and measure your route using a GPS or Google Maps if possible. Scooter odometers lie.
3.List the ambient temperature in degrees Fahrenheit as listed by NOAA at the time and place of your ride. No, wind chill doesn’t matter when you’re already riding 30+mph. If the temperature varies over the course of your ride, post the average of the high and low temperature.
4.Coldest temperature wins. If you go 50 miles in 20°F, and somebody else only does 5 miles in 19°F, 19°F wins. Distance is relevant only to break ties. 5 mile minuimum ride.
5.This is just for fun, and on the honor system. Don’t lie or cheat.
6.Your entry must be a ride you just did. Don’t post about how last year you rode in really cold weather.
7.Contest starts at 12:01 am on December 13, 2011 ends at midnight on Feb. 28, 2012.
