Your SWAG bag will have a free pass to the local fitness center or pool to gain access for a hot shower.

You will also find one raffle ticket in your SWAG bag. Don’t lose it. Once you cross the finish line and get your medal, stop by the winners table to see if you won anything. If you did, it will be waiting for you. (We are looking at other options versus the raffle ticket BUT there will be lots of door prizes so make sure to check here for updates.)

Routes are approximately 11, 32, 50 miles and 100 K (approx. 62.5 mi) on paved county roads. You can choose whatever route fits you on the morning of the ride. All riders are required to wear helmets and safety gear. E-bikes are welcome and encouraged. (The two longest routes are being changed this year due to road conditions from local road work. Keep checking here for updates.)

SAG Stations will be placed at approximately 10-mile intervals, along all routes. Porta-potties will be available at all SAG Stations and SAG Wagons will be driving all routes throughout the ride to assist if needed.
