BIKE SUPPORT: Pre-ride bike tech support is provided by Switchin' Gears and will be set up near the event tent on ride day.

RIDE REGULATIONS:

• Helmets are required and must be worn for all courses.

COURSE INFO: Cue sheets are available below for each course, plus, all routes are marked with road-side signs. There are designated ride leaders and sweeps for each route and SAG vehicles available between rest stops. If you have any questions or need assistance, please seek out these volunteers. If you see a SAG vehicle, you may indicate thumbs-up if you are safe and thumbs-down if you need assistance.
 
Remember: it is ultimately your responsibility to know the course. Roads will be open to vehicular traffic. Be careful and alert at all times.
 
AID STATIONS: There are four aid stations on the course. The stations in Watha and on Whitestocking will have minimal nutrition, water, Gatorade and ice.
