Timing is for training reference purposes only. This is not an officially sanctioned race. This is considered a self supported event so riders must arrange their own transportation if unable to complete the ride for any reason. Call 911 in case of emergency.
These routes are primarily gravel roads. A road bike is not appropriate for these routes. Routes are on public roads and riders are expected to abide by the Texas Transportation Code.
75 mile distance is the final qualifier for Sunday's Privateer Invitational. All riders who finish the full distance before the cutoff time (TBD) will be invited to Sunday's feature race.
50 mile distance is time but there are no awards or prizes. If you want podiums and awards you should go long and go fast.
35 mile distance is untimed but we still need all riders to checkin to verify they are off the course.
