Other details:

Printed cue cards will be available the day of the event for all distances. GPS tracks will also be available for downloading the week before June 1. The event director uses Ride with GPS for mapping and cue cards. All routes are physically checked for accuracy to insure proper signage and distances. Past routes can be seen by searching Ride with GPS.

Participants should be prepared for a variety of terrain and weather conditions. Gravel roads, minimum maintenance roads, single + double track trails, and pavement can be a part of each distance. Each participant is responsible for their physical, emotional, and mechanical needs. You are responsible for you.

It is recommended that you use a rear red light while riding. Being visible helps with your safety as you traverse the curves, hills, and trails of the beautiful rural setting. Bright and/or reflective clothing is also a good choice.

If you want to stay at the start the night before, please contact ENDracing to make this known.  Bedding is available, but if you want to bring your own gear for sleeping that is fine. Towels, soaps, etc. are also available onsite if you choose to shower or bring your own supplies.

Refund Policy

*Gravel races are traditionally free, and we like that tradition. You're more than welcome to kick in some money to cover event costs (insurance, food, gas, etc.), but it's not required. All that we ask is that if you sign up, you actually show up, so we don't end up with tons of extra food laying around. (And if dropping some $$$ now helps you remember to show up, we're not going to stop you.)
