OCA TT Series Tech Guide Ontario Cycling Association Virtual Time Trial Series January 30th, 2021 February 20th, 2021 March 13th, 2021 March 27th, 2021 FulGaz Racing Platform Technical Guide Version 1.0 In Partnership with Cycling Canada OCA Virtual Time Trial Series Ontario Cycling Association Welcome Welcome to the OCA Virtual Time Trial Series taking place on the FulGaz virtual platform. The winter season can be challenging when it comes to finding motivation to train. While it’s too cold outside for outdoor riding and racing, we wanted to provide a continued sense of community through promoting virtual riding and racing opportunities ranging from club to national level events. In addition to this, the OCA is organizing four of our own Virtual Time Trial Races to allow 2021 members the chance to race real roads and try out a realistic virtual riding and racing platform. From the FulGaz website at www.fulgaz.com: “FulGaz features over 2,000 hours of high-qualify 4k content that’s been hand picked from our amazing contributors featuring many of the best places you’ll ever ride. We believe that when you’re riding inside, only the best ride experience will do. That’s why we’ve dedicated countless hours to perfecting each and every ride on FulGaz and testing it with our team of Ride Engineers. Enjoy realistic and stunning virtual rides anytime on iOS (iPhone and iPad), Apple TV, Android and Windows devices.” Most other virtual platforms provide users with a very digital or video-game like experience. FulGaz provides its users with the experience of riding real roads, with video and course profiles mapped out by cyclists, for cyclists. When travelling, outdoor rides, and training camps are not a possibility, you can experience riding roads and taking in scenery from around the world in the comfort and safety of your own home. Using the FulGaz platform, the Virtual Time Trial Series will take place on the following dates and courses: January 30, 2021 Gatineau Park – Quebec, Canada February 20, 2021 Laguna Seca Circuit Race – California, USA March 13, 2021 Great Ocean Road – Victoria, Australia March 27, 2021 Elite Men’s ITT – UCI Worlds 2019 – Yorkshire, England Licensing & Registration • Registration for the events will open once 2021 licenses are made available for purchase at https://ccnbikes.com/#!/events/11154-ontario-esports-virtual-tt-series • Participants must sign up for the series and have purchased a 2021 Ontario Cycling Membership by the Thursday before the race at 12:00 NOON in order to gain access to the event registration code • Rush license processing will not be necessary, as we will prioritize licenses for Virtual Time Trial participants who made their purchase before the Thursday deadline • 2021 applicable OCA memberships include: o Affiliate Club Membership o Citizen Permit o UCI License • You need to register for the event in order to be sent the access code for the OCA Series Any questions please contact the OCA at 416-855-1717 Page 2 of 8 OCA Virtual Time Trial Series Ontario Cycling Association Categories Virtual riding and racing is its own discipline.

Please note that your age is how old you WILL BE as of December 31st 2021. In order to keep things fair, we ask users to please be honest when inputting data into FulGaz, especially your height and weight as this will impact your performance.

Any questions please contact the OCA at 416-855-1717 Page 4 of 8 OCA Virtual Time Trial Series Ontario Cycling Association Connecting with FulGaz If you don’t already have a FulGaz account, here’s what you will need for this race: TRAINER You can do this race on practically any indoor trainer, but it’s recommended to use a smart trainer or power meter that can talk to your computer and relay wattage data. Even if you don’t have one of those, a regular magnetic or fluid trainer will work, however you will need a Bluetooth or Ant+ speed sensor for your bike and an ANT+ stick for your computer to pick up the data. If you have a heartrate monitor and cadence sensor, you’re welcome to use it to show how hard you are working. FULGAZ To download the software needed, click on Getting started with FulGaz | FulGaz, download the software (OS specific) and register for the service. There is typically a limited two-week free trial, however we have partnered with Cycling Canada to obtain an extended trial period of 4 weeks, stay tuned for the promo code which is set to rollout about 10 days before out first event. This discount code will allow you to register for any number of rides and races on the platform, including the OCA Virtual TT Series. FULGAZ PRE-RIDE In order to get the full experience out of using FulGaz, it is highly recommended to download the app in advance and practice pre-riding some of the courses. Upon setting yourself up on the FulGaz app, you can then find and ride routes such as those within our race calendar. For instance, search for “Gatineau Park” and pre- ride the course for our first Time Trial taking place on January 30th. If you are unable to download the FulGaz application but want to checkout a preview of the courses, you can also search for the courses listed in order by name by visiting The Rides | FulGaz. Any questions please contact the OCA at 416-855-1717 Page 5 of 8 OCA Virtual Time Trial Series Ontario Cycling Association Course Info January 30, 2021 Gatineau Park – Quebec, Canada We begin our TT series with more of a “local” ride just across the provincial border in Gatineau Park located near Chelsea, Quebec. Ride the cycling paradise of the Gatineau Provincial Park, the Canadian capital region’s conservation park while enjoying Canadian shield rock, lakes, rivers and other scenery. This course takes you up the Gatineau Parkway and Champlain Parkway to the Etienne-Brule lookout with some beautiful forests and fall colours along the way. https://fulgaz.com/fulgaz-rides/?fg_ride=3e30937ec69e66ad54d86e79 17.78km 411m Climbing 258 Toughness Score February 20, 2021 Laguna Seca Circuit Race – California, USA Join this circuit race to experience race video coverage taking place on the Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey, California. Indoor training doesn’t have to be boring. Your TT result will not benefit from “riding in the bunch” (drafting etc) but that doesn’t mean you have to give up the bunch racing experience entirely. We want you to have the opportunity to view an exciting video that races around the 3.5km circuit a total of 10 times with cornering and bunch race tactics taking place right before your eyes during the Sea Otter Classic circuit race. https://fulgaz.com/fulgaz-rides/?fg_ride=1de1747a10bfc185bf5c7524 35.61km 655m Climbing 227 Toughness Score Any questions please contact the OCA at 416-855-1717 Page 6 of 8 OCA Virtual Time Trial Series Ontario Cycling Association March 13, 2021 Great Ocean Road – Victoria, Australia Replicating what was to be the beginning of the 2021 Women’s World Tour Season, we enjoy the seaside views of the “Great Ocean Road” in Victoria, Australia.
