The event is designed for road bikes, and the routes include only paved roads. Many mountain bikers would find it enjoyable as well. You may ride any human-powered contraption permitted by law. Electric bikes are okay too.
What time does the ride begin?
The kickoff event on September 7th will have a staggered start beginning at 7am.
How are the routes marked?
Arrows will be affixed to the roads, marking every turn. The various routes are marked using different color arrows. We may also add signage at intersections.
Are cue sheets provided?
Yes. Draft cue sheets will be available for download from the Routes Page. Note, however, that routes are subject to change due to unexpected circumstances such as road closures, or the whims of our route designers.
What time is lunch served?
The kickoff event on September 7th will offer pre-event coffee and breakfast followed by lunches served from 11:00 until 2:00. The lunch will, of course, be capped by our famous ice cream sundaes. You will have earned it!
