COURSE SUPPORT HOURS

Support (including signage and support vehicles) is available from 6:00 am - 5:30 pm. Please choose a route that you can complete in that amount of time, and allow enough time to relax and enjoy the beautiful ride.  If you cannot complete the course by then, you may either take a support vehicle ride (the number to call is in the ride guide) to the finish line or complete the course without support. You will miss lunch. We begin removing course signage at that point.


WHAT TO BRING

Bring as much water as you and your bicycle can carry. Water is provided at the rest stops, but it could be a very hot day. We also suggest you bring electrolytes/hydration supplements.  A change of clothing and after-ride personal items may be stored at the start line. Bring these items in a sealed bag and drop them off at the INFORMATION tent. All rest stops are well-stocked with nutritional snacks, but if you need any special dietary supplements, we suggest you pack those along to ensure you're well nourished every step of the way.
