What weather should I expect?

Yes! SAG will be available throughout the ride days and rest stops will be located approx. every 18 miles apart. Lunch will be served on course.
What if I need SAG or cannot complete my course distance?
Our ride is fully supported – this means that we will have SAG and safety contracted to support along the entire ride. If you cannot complete your ride for any reason, our SAG team will be able to provide you with the assistance needed.
What if I need to rent or ship a bike?
There are several rental shops in the area. We recommend researching and renting well ahead of time in order to reserve your bike. Rental recommendation: Greenville Bike & Tri Company.
If you are shipping your bike, we recommend using Bikeflights. We have bike mechanics on-site that assemble and repack the bikes.
What if I get injured during the ride?
We will have contracted medical and emergency professionals on sit who will assist you immediately in the case of injury or emergency.
What if I have a mechanical issue on the course?
Please be prepared and equipped to handle minor mechanical issues (i.e. flat tire kit on hand). Our SAG vehicles will have supplies on hand as well. More extensive mechanical assistance that may need professional help will not be available on demand.

Can I change the distance before ride day?
