Greetings,

We are pleased you are looking at our ride and we hope you will join us for an outstanding event.   We will do everything possible to make your ride safe, memorable and enjoyable.  Our foremost concern is our attendees' safety.  The committee is made up of many riders who have participated and been involved in many organized rides of various levels. We are planning early and thoroughly to do everything we can for a safe fun ride.

That said we want you to be aware that our route will be very hilly and have sections of narrow winding hilly roads (low traffic count).  The route will also have a section of hilly straight state highway (high traffic count), this section has excellent shoulders. 

We will have excellent support and a very well marked route, with  many steps taken to make the route as safe as possible.

THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF STORM SHELTERS (reststops) AND PLENTY OF SUPPORT.

If you are seeking a very challenging bicycle ride you have found it.
