All riders are required to wear helmets and safety gear. E-bikes are welcome and encouraged. Remember, the 50 and 61 mile routes have the famous Texas chip seal, so adjust accordingly. I personally ride them with 25's but 28's and above would be more comfortable.

SAG Stations will be placed at approximately 10 to 13 mile intervals, along all routes. Porta-potties will be available at all SAG Stations and SAG Wagons will be driving all routes throughout the ride to assist if needed.
