THE JOE BARR 500 ROUTEBOOK 2020 A RACE APART

Joe Barr, World Endurance Cyclist, 2 time Race Across America Finisher, World Ultra- Cycling Association’s (WUCA) World Champion over 500-miles (2017) and WUCA World Cup winner (2019) has trained and raced on these Irish roads for decades.

The Race Joe Barr endurance series is a personal invitation to come and experience the roads that continue to inspire him to reach for further.

He has designed each course to test all aspects of endurance cycling.

ENDURANCE RACING IS A JOURNEY

It’s a literal journey from start to finish through wild and beautiful landscapes. It’s also a journey that reveals who you are and how you and your crew deal with challenge and adversity.

Each race is unique. You’ll find that over time they become part of an incredible story.

Endurance racing is the art of constant motion. This is why it is so appealing to and suitable for all levels of cyclist. It doesn’t matter how fast you’re going, it matters that you and your crew keep the bike moving forward.

The Race Joe Barr endurance series includes 3 distances. Each distance brings a different ‘ask’ for rider and crew. As you develop your endurance capability and confidence you will inevitably reach for further but no matter what distance you choose, you and your crew will be challenged to face and overcome the obstacles the race puts in front of you. NOTES FOR THE NAVIGATOR

The route book is split into 6 columns, each with a corresponding index number. Distances are given in both miles and kilometers.

INDEX NUMBER – For reference only, this is to identify each instruction. Please reference these numbers if you have a navigation query with HQ. You can also use them within your crew to highlight certain instructions. They should match the ridewithgps index numbers.

INSTRUCTION – Read each instruction carefully then read it again. They will include the direction of turn, roundabout exits, road name/signage and specific visual route marker’s, which are used when road signage is poor or non-existent. Please pay close attention to CAUTION warnings as they are there for your safety. DO NOT TURN UNLESS INSTRUCTED BY THE ROUTEBOOK.

TIMING STATIONS – These are points where the GPS tracker records the rider’s time, which is used to update the leader board. There is no need for the rider or crew to do anything when passing a designated timing station.

LAST – The distance in miles or kilometers from your last direction index. Use only as a reference. Pay close attention to entries with low values 0-0.3 as this indicates immediate turns. Pay close attention to DO NOT MISS warnings as the road entry may be small and less obvious.

TOTAL – The total distance in miles and kilometers from the race start to the instruction you are looking at. Use this to navigate utilizing the distance from start on your GPS (bike or in-car navigation) and cross-reference using the service car’s distance/trip. It is natural that there will be minor variation between cars and devices. Trip all devices at the start of the race.

IF YOU MAKE A NAVIGATION ERROR RETURN TO THE POINT WHERE THE ERROR WAS MADE AND CONTINUE ON DESIGNATED COURSE ONLY. DO NOT FOLLOW GPS RECALCULATIONS. NAVIGATION TIPS

• Don’t Panic – If you make a mistake a clear head will put you on the right path quicker.

• Forward Plan – Get an understanding of the route prior to the race. Reference the routebook with your GPS devices. Make sure all your devices have the latest updates, charging cables, the correct maps and route files installed. If you have time before the race, navigating and/or riding the start and tricky sections will give you a competitive advantage. Visualise a 3D version of the route in your head.

• Read all instruction and mileage/kilometer values carefully, double check, especially when you are fatigued. Forward plan a few turns not just the one you are approaching.

• Cross-reference the routebook with all devices. Bear in mind that each device may behave differently. THE ROUTEBOOK IS THE GOLD STANDARD. We endeavor to make sure there are no errors, however, ‘to err is human’. Report any issues referencing the index No. to HQ immediately to ensure a fair race for everyone.

• Offline navigation– internet and phone signal may not be available for smaller portions of the route. Devices which rely solely on online data may stop functioning properly. Your routebook and GPS devices with installed maps are offline solutions and will keep you right. Ridewithgps.com gives an offline option when loading our route. Be sure to install.

• Power – Ensure all your units and additional equipment have the correct cabling and adapters to use in car power outlets. A correctly powered inverter is an essential piece of kit. DO NOT try to charge your GPS devices from the laptop or built in car USB ports as this may cause them to lock into an unstable (but charging) state. If you need to charge a device use a power outlet adapter with USB, or the USB ports on the inverter. This will power your unit while guaranteeing full function.

• Double GPS unit HOT SWAP - if you have the luxury of owning two of the same model of GPS units make sure both are updated with route maps, correct settings and are fully charged. Have your rider use one unit (unit 1) while you start to navigate in car with the second unit (unit 2). Ensure unit 2 is on constant charge. This will give you the same view as the rider and will give you a chance to see possible errors before your rider goes off-course. When unit 1’s power is nearly depleted, give them the fully charged unit 2 and charge unit 1 in car. Rinse, lather, repeat. NAVIGATION TIPS

• Weather – Monitor the weather using Met Office/Accuweather apps. It is best to be prepared for bad weather approaching.

• Give orders – That’s right you are the navigator. Cross-reference with rider and other crew members if they have local knowledge or a different understanding of an instruction. If you and the crew are 100% sure the rider is wrong, then correct them using the words, “TRUST ME”. Remember, your rider is facing fatigue and wind noise. Always give your orders in a CLEAR, LOUD VOICE USING PAUSES.

• Take over driving in sections that are easier to navigate. This reduces driver fatigue. Teaching your crew to navigate will make your life easier.

• Have fun – you are also in charge of keeping spirits high for rider and crew! THE ROUTE MAP OVERVIEW ELEVATION OVERVIEW
