Routes- Stay Aware
There will be no spray painted arrows. A majority of these are on rustic roads. As such, we are not allowed to mark them. Cue sheets are available along with gps data. We do our best with signage.

SAG Support - We will have roving volunteers - cell numbers will be on cue sheets. The ride takes place over a wide area so you may be waiting for SAG for some time - make sure your gear is in proper condition. Injuries please dial 911.

Rider Behavior:
We'll be sharing the road with local residents, customers of farms, and a variety of motorists, including farm equipment and horse trailers. The default position for cyclists riding in groups is single file. Bicyclists are expected to obey the same traffic laws as motorists. Do it. The police have been known to ticket cyclists in the area for running stop signs. Some of these vehicles don't have great line of sight, or can not stop on a dime, such as horse trailers with perhaps more than a single one-ton animal in there. There are several one lane bridges, so allow the trailer or farm equipment to go first. Bicycles can startle horses. Before passing a horse and rider, slow down and ask if it is okay to pass. Make sure the rider sees you coming or knows you are behind them.
