The Short Course will be marked with signs to guide you along the route. If you would like to have a queue sheet for any distance, you can do so by printing the route from RideWithGPS. Else you can navigate from your bike computer or phone.
Wearing a helmet is required. Rear light and headlight on your bike are recommended, these roads are open to the public. Wearing headphones is discouraged.
This is a gravel race, and we are out in remote areas of the country. Flat tires/mechanicals are a possibility, and you should be responsible for yourself. Bring tube(s), tire levers, CO2/Pump, multitool, and be able to call for help if necessary.
This event is an effort of our 501c3 club to carry forward the tradition of a gravel event in the area this time of year, which had prior been the END-CHIP, now retired.
As with many gravel events, this will be self-supported. For the 2 longer distances, there will be opportunities to refuel and get water at some small town(s) where you can purchase food/drink from convenience store and/or locations where you will be able to get water.
Traditionally this event has been a gravel ride, and we want to maintain that format for those who’d like to participate in a ride. We’d also like to maintain that there will be a time window to start your ride. See the time windows in each distance.
We’d also like to provide the opportunity for those that would like a mass start with others and/or compete and race against others with a set start time for their event. Those start times will be the listed start time for each distance. Podium awards will be provided for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place (men's and women's) for mass start participants for each category.
NOTE: This area has elevation, you'll see this in the course maps. This will add time to your ride versus a flat ride over the same distance. Also, the gravel in this area may be slower than what you're used to. Take these into consideration with your time and your hydration and fueling needs. We recommend you bring one more bottle of water and additional nutrition, beyond what you think you'll need.
