WAYFINDING

The course will be minimally marked, so it is important to know the route before you start. Downloadable route files are available on the ROUTES page. Also, be advised that a majority of the roads in the Reliance area do not have street signs, especially the forest service roads.

BIKES

Pure gravel bikes, hardtail mountain bikes, "Frankenbikes" - all are seen on our forest roads and all are welcome on the course. Please note however that e-bikes are are not allowed on the timed race routes. E-bikes are only allowed on the 25-mile Tourist Route.

ROADS

Be advised that all roads will be open to traffic. Although the forest roads are very lightly trafficked, you may unexpectedly run into vehicles. So don't cheat on the blind curves!

CENTURY CUT-OFF

Riders on the 100-mile route must reach the Powerhouse Boat Ramp Checkpoint by noon (55 miles in no more than 5 hours) or they will be redirected to the shortest route to the finish line.
