Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I have to check in before I start riding Saturday morning, and at each rest stop?
A: Yes. For organizational purposes and for safety reasons, it is important for the Support Team to know who is on the course and who is not. It is not uncommon for a SAG driver to spend wasted hours looking for a rider who did not check in. Also, since your time will be recorded at each rest stop and displayed on our website, you will know at which rest stop to have your lights dropped the following year. And, for Triple Crown purposes, you must prove that you were there.

Q: Are you going to have road markings at each corner?
A: All of the corners will be either designated with road markings or a sign. Some of the corners cannot legally have either one so please regard your route sheet as your bible.

Q: How early can I leave on Saturday morning?
A: After you have checked-in with the Registrar on Saturday morning at the Elks Lodge, the earliest you can start is 4:00 a.m. The slower riders should take advantage of this early start time. The faster riders should not leave any earlier than 5:00 a.m. because they will overrun our rest stops if they do. Remember! The first Rest Stop opens at 6:00 a.m.

Q: What type of energy drinks will you provide?
A: Hammer Gel products will be the order of the day, Sustained Energy, Perpetuem, Electrolytes, Hammer Gel, and possibly Gatorade.
