The course is well-marked and completely supported. Riders travel at their own pace and support
vehicles patrol our route. Bike technicians are available should you need assistance. We carry all gear and you
will be well fed and well cared for throughout the event.

and each Rest Stop is stocked with snacks, fruit, water, sports drink and more.

are also available at our overnights on Friday and Saturday.

will keep you well fed and well hydrated! Beginning with breakfast on Friday morning through lunch on Sunday
we´ll provide all meals, drinks and snacks.
