Safety

Your safety is our top priority. Review important ride-day policies, course hours, road closures, rider support resources, and emergency information before event weekend.

Ride Policies

• Helmets required
• Obey all traffic laws
• Display clear hand or verbal signals
• Ride single file
• No personal SAG vehicles on route
• Minimum rider age: 8 years old with a guardian for the 25-mile route and 12 years old with a guardian for all other distances.

Course Safety Policies

For the safety of all participants, personal SAG vehicles and family or friends following riders on the course are not permitted. Spectators are encouraged to cheer riders on at designated start lines, lunch stops, and finish locations, and to use routes that do not follow the rider’s course. Please be mindful of rider safety when arriving at event venues and avoiding parking or driving in areas where riders are entering, exiting, or gathering. Our event provides on-course SAG, mechanical, and medical support throughout the weekend.

On Course Support

Course Hours are from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM. Riders outside these hours may not have access to rest stops, SAG vehicles, or event support.

Bike Mechanics will be available at the start, finish, and all rest stops. We recommend carrying a spare tube and inflation device. Ride Command information will be printed on your ride wristband for on-course support needs.

Emergency and medical services will be available throughout the event. For life-threatening emergencies, call 911 first, then contact Ride Command using the phone number on your wristband.

Support & Gear (SAG) vehicles are available throughout the course to assist riders and transport bikes when needed. Riders are typically taken to the next rest stop, where bike mechanics may be available. Please note that SAG drivers cannot perform bike repairs and do not return to the Start/Finish area until the course closes.
