There will be a support car roving the Challenge routes (22m and 36m) to offer assistance to anyone in need. Support cars will have basic tools and first aid supplies. If you call the support line, we will reach you as soon as we can and either get you rolling again or transport you and your bike to the finish. Recharge/rest stop volunteers are also there to help.

HELMETS ARE MANDATORY

Don't forget your helmet!

RECHARGE STATIONS (rest stops) will be located along the routes (see maps). Station volunteers will provide snacks, fruit, water and good cheer. 

THIS IS NOT A CLOSED COURSE

All standard rules of the road apply. Volunteers along the course will help riders make safe crossings, but they will not be stopping or controlling traffic.  This is a great opportunity for inexperienced cyclists to learn to ride safely under everyday conditions. Volunteers will be on hand to answer questions about routes, major crossings, and rules of the road.

STOP SAFELY

Have fun - stop and take pictures, take breaks, get treats! 

Please check behind you before slowing or stopping and warn others, if needed, that you are stopping.  Pull off the road or trail and stop where you are not obstructing motor vehicle, pedestrian or other bike traffic.
