General Rules
Nobody likes them, but they are a necessity for the survival of any ride. This ride is ON OPEN ROADS, which means you must OBEY TRAFFIC LAWS. Please keep in mind some farmers and residents work and live on these roads. Yield to cars and farm equipment, and please stop at all stop signs, you will be crossing some highways. The less we inconvenience residents, the more likely they are to welcome us into their community. It is simple, be courteous, wave, and smile, you are on a bike ride!
Be prepared for anything, this is not a supported ride. There will be rest stops with food and water on the route (the 18-mile route does not have a rest stop). There will not be any mechanical support on the road, you are responsible for arranging a ride if you have issues. Having some sort of tire plug, inner tube, and Co2 is a really good idea. It is a good idea to bring some warm clothes, as the weather can change quickly (maybe a rain jacket lol).
Leave no trace. Please put your trash in your pocket and place it in the proper receptacle at a rest stop or the finish. Please do not litter. Also, there will be restrooms at most rest stops. Please do not use the bathroom on the course, especially not on private property.
All riders must wear a helmet.
Ride your bike, have fun, and be kind to others. The perfect formula.
