Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I have to check in before I start riding Saturday morning, and at each rest stop?
A: Yes. For organizational purposes and for safety reasons, it is important for the Support Team to know who is on the course and who is not. It is not uncommon for a SAG driver to spend wasted hours looking for a rider who did not check in. And, for Triple Crown purposes, you must prove that you were there.

Q: Are you going to have road markings at each corner?
A: All of the corners will be either designated with road markings or a sign. Some of the corners cannot legally have either one so please regard your route sheet as your bible.

Q: How early can I leave on Saturday morning?
A: After you have checked-in with the Registrar on Saturday morning at the Veteran's Hall, the earliest you can start is 3:05 a.m. The slower riders should take advantage of this early start time. The faster riders should not leave any earlier than 5:00 a.m. because they will overrun our rest stops if they do. Remember! The first Rest Stop opens at 6:00 a.m.

Q: What type of energy drinks will you provide?
A: Hammer Gel products will be the order of the day, Sustained Energy, Perpetuem, Electrolytes, Hammer Gel, and possibly Gatorade.
