PHILOSOPHY & SAFETY

This is a strenuous event. Only experienced, long-distance cyclists should attempt this ride. The FCC Support Team will do everything possible in order for you to complete this double century. Having said that, finishing the ride shall not take precedence over safety. If the Support Team feels it is not safe for a rider to physically, mentally, or mechanically continue, the rider will be pulled from the course. A conditioned rider should finish this ride within 20 hours. (last year the fastest test rider finished in 13 ½ hours, and the slowest in 18 hours) If a rider starts at 4:00am, the rider should complete the ride before the course closes at midnight.

THE FOLLOWING IS SUBJECT TO DISQUALIFICATION:

All riders must wear an approved helmet at all times
