Organiser's Description
145 miles touching the 4 corners of Kent County. Shorter distances (90-120 miles) may be achieved with a "SAG forward."
There are at least two groups: "Fast" (18+ average mph) and "Good" (15+ average mph). Slower paced riders will not finish the 145 mile route by the 6pm cut-off.
SAG, snacks, ice, and sports drinks all around the route. Lunch for 145-milers about half-way around. Sandwich provided for 100-milers.
