Ride Policies
- Minimum age: 13 years old to ride in the event.
- AMBBR & E-bikes:We welcome e-bikes that are designed for road riding but ask that as a safety precaution you do not use any throttle mechanism during the ride. Be aware that some local ordinances in the Lake Tahoe basin do not allow e-bikes on bike paths. Don’t forget to be prepared with a fully charged battery and bring your own charging cable. Please keep in mind that our bike mechanics and SAG vehicles may not be equipped to assist with issues and some e-bikes do not fit easily on standard bike racks.
Bike Mechanics
Mechanics will be on duty at the start, finish, and all rest stops with the exception of our ½ Spooner water stop. We recommend bringing a spare tube and inflation device with you. Our emergency support number will be listed on your ride wristband for easy access if you need mechanical support while on the course. However, please keep in mind that our bike mechanics and SAG vehicles may not be equipped to assist with all issues, and some e-bikes do not fit easily on standard bike racks.
Medical
Emergency medical services will be present before, during, and after the ride to attend to any medical emergencies. We will have our emergency support number listed on your ride wristband for easy access. For life threatening emergencies call 911 first, then contact Ride Command listed on your wristband.
