    Rules

    THIS EVENT IS NOT A RACE. While law enforcement officials will be at many major intersections, you are responsible for obeying all traffic regulations. HELMETS ARE REQUIRED at all times. There will be mandatory NO PASSING ZONES in certain sections of the course; check your pre-event instructions for final details.

    Refund Policy

    Chip Timing

    Participants in the 101-mile ride are required to wear a timing chip. For ranking purposes we'll capture the split time of your 6-mile climb up Honey Springs Road. Your split will begin when you cross the timing mat at the bottom of the climb, and will end at the designated summit. Your net time will be recorded so you can compare how fast you rode the climb compared to others. Note: There will be a $35 replacement fee charged if you lose or fail to return your timing chip!

    Aid Stations

    Aid stations will be located approximately every 20 miles. They will be stocked with water, energy drinks, energy bars and fruit. Full SAG support and minor bike repair will be provided for riders in need.
