like to ride. Or make the change at either of the early packet pick up dates.
Q. Can I start early?
A. We ask that you please follow the start times for the routes as planned and not ride early. If
you start early, we cannot assure you that all of the rest stops and course support will be in
place and ready to support you.
Q. Is there a check in or registration time prior to the morning of the ride?
A. Yes, we will have an early turn- in / registration / packet pick up during the week of Tour.
Dates and times TBD. Just a reminder that every rider must turn in the $200 minimum at early
turn-in or / packet pick up OR at registration on the morning of the event if they have not
already reached the amount. This is when you will receive your bib number and goodie bag
Each rider must also turn in an emergency form / waiver
Q. Do I have to check in the morning of the ride if I’m already registered and have raised the
minimum?
A. If you have previously raised the minimum, turned in your minimum at early turn-in and
have no additional funds to turn in at the event; and, if you have turned in your signed waiver;
and have received your official bib, you are set to ride and don’t need to check in.
Q. When does registration close?
A. Online registration closes on Wednesday night. If you have friends still planning to ride,
please have them register by Wednesday night. Thursday through Saturday they will need to
register in person at either one of the early turn in times or the morning of the ride.
