RIDERS

There will be two sequential but different loops from Shopping Center. You may ride the first or both loops and have rover support. You may ride Loop 2 first, but we will consider you on a personal ride (and will not provide rover support). You may ride only Loop 2 (after riders from Loop 1 have started Loop 2) and have rover support, but there is no estimated start time for Loop 2.  
 

Classic and Flex Ride riders welcome. 
If you are bringing an e-bike, read more here.
