Northstar Enduro • August 21-22, 2021 • Northstar California Mountain Resort
Saturday’s race has been cancelled due to poor AQI. Following is an update for Sunday’s race:
We’ll be starting riders at each stage by category. The indicated times are the start times at the start of each stage, it is your responsibility to be at each race stage at the time indicated. At the top of the table you will find the estimated transfer time for each stage to help you plan your transfers.
Mandatory Time Check – these are time checks at the CES Timing Tent for us to download your stage times from your timing chip. Failure to check there will be a 15sec penalty.
Updated Schedule
Sunday, August 22, 2021
• Packet Pickup: 7 – 8am at Gondola Building
• Race Start: 8am Gondola Ride from Village
• Race: 9:00am – 2pm
• Awards: 1 hour after the race completes
Sunday will be a similar assessment of the air quality in the morning by Northstar – hopefully we’ll be able to get things going with the updated schedule.
Please Return Your Timing Chips
Regardless of the situation, please remember to return your timing chips to CES.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we try to make this work.

Stage Start Times — The indicated times are the start times at the start of each stage, it is your responsibility to be at each race stage at the time indicated.At the top of the table you will find the estimated transfer time for each stage to help you plan your transfers.
Rider Meeting
To remove the pedaling climbs from the course, we are going to be using the Gondola to get racers to mid-mountain. To get things moving – we’ll be skipping the morning rider meeting so folks can get on the Gondola and to mid-mountain.
Any updates will be posted at the bottom of the Gondola, and at the bottom of the Vista and Zephyr lifts.
If you have questions – you can come by packet pickup at the Gondola building on Friday, or Saturday morning.
Aid Stations
The main aid station will be located in the vendor area at the orange Gatorade tent. Water will be available at the top of the Vista and Zephyr chairs.
CES Timing System
- CHIP ON RIGHT WRIST – You must wear your timing chip on the top of your right wrist during the race.
- NO OTHER ELECTRONICS – Do not wear GPS watch or other electronic device on your right wrist – nothing on the right wrist with the timing chip, they can interfere with timing. GPS on the stem or left wrist is fine – just nothing on the right wrist with the timing chip.
- ACTIVATE YOUR CHIP – You must Activate Your Chip before each race stage – there will be a timing marshal at the stage start to activate the timing chips. As you get ready to start your race run, activate your chip (the chips will flash and BEEP-BEEP-BEEP) – then enter the start gate.
- RETURN YOUR CHIP – You must return your timing chip to get your race results after you completed all stages. We’ll have a live display of results at the timing tent where you can check your standing as rides check in.
- DO NOT TAKE THE TIMING CHIP HOME – Please return it to the CES tent after the race. We’d rather not have to track you down and have you mail the timing chip back to us.
Read the Start Times section Above
Your time to BE AT THE START of each stage is posted by category, stages close at specific times you must complete the stages before it closes.
Stage Closed Times
The Stage Start Times sheet shows a Stage Closed time for each stage for Pro/Experts and different times for Sport/Beginners, Courses tape will be moved when switching between Pro/Expert and Sport/Beginner categories on the stages . Once we switch things over, we can’t switch it back. So Pro/Experts must finish their stages before their indicated times. And Sport/Beginners must complete their stages before their indicated times.

Transfers

After that – riders should be getting on the Gondola about 1.5 hours before their start time to give sufficient time to get to your first stage start of the day.
