We will be "collecting" finish times. It will be self timed, on your honor.
If you finish the reward is a beer and brats afterwards.
We will have a cut off time. We're leaning towards somewhere between 12 hours and 2 weeks.
Pick your steed carefully
You will want to ride either a cyclocross bike or mountain bike. You will want to have wide tires with lots of volume I'd recommend a minimum 40 mm width tire if you have them. A lot of the roads we will be riding on will be rutted with loose gravel. Riding on gravel roads requires that you pay attention at all times to the changing conditions of the road.
Please don't get lost
Turn by turn cue sheets will be provided as well as a gpx file for anyone that has a gps. You will want to at minimum have an odometer as the mileage is posted for each turn. The course is not marked so you will have to pay attention!!
