All entrants are urged to strictly observe all state and local traffic laws. The winning time and mileage will be established by averaging all the times/mileages of all the finishing motorcycles. The entrant finishing nearest the official average time, plus or minus, will be declared the winner. Unclaimed awards will not be forwarded. In the event of a tie, the earliest entry wins.
Suggestions for enjoying the tour
