Red Bull Timelaps
What is Red Bull Timelaps? Red Bull Timelaps is a race that takes place on the weekend that the clocks go back and daylight saving in the UK ends. This year marked the 3rd edition of the event that starts at 12pm on the Saturday and ends at 12pm on the Sunday making it 25 hours in total. You can participate either solo or as part of a team; as this was the weekend before I race BikingMan Taiwan I thought it best to recruit some help (and more legs) from my Bianchi Dama teammates. Only one member of the team is allowed on the course at one time and must be wearing the race armband which you swap over in the pits. The team that tots up the most laps wins with the added complication that at 2am, when the clocks go back, a second smaller lap opens up and there is what is called the Power Hour. Every lap that you complete of this alternative course counts for 2 laps! Why would you want to do that? It was actually Emma Cockcroft who first suggested we enter. She took part back in 201
