PACKET PICK-UP and START LOCATION:
You may pick up your packet on Friday from 5:00PM until 9:00PM at Harris Park.
You may also pick up your packet on Saturday morning between 5:15AM and 8:00AM.
START TIMES:
The earliest start time is 6:00AM. We suggest that 266K and 300K riders
start at this time.
Whatever distance you are riding, your time starts ticking when you cross
the first chip loop (leaving Harris Park). We suggest that 200K riders
start at 6:30AM and that 100K riders start between 7:00 and 8:30AM. All of
the rest stop planning has been based on riders starting at these times.
If you feel that you need extra time to complete the 100K or 200K, feel
free to start a bit early.
Although you are free to start anytime between 6:00AM and 8:30AM, we will
be starting waves of riders at 15 minute intervals.
TIMING (perhaps a bit different than you are used to…)
This event will be chip timed (100K – 300K).
There will be timing loops at various points on the course.
Be sure to cross over these loops to register yourself.

In order to insure that we get all riders off the course (especially the
266K and 300K) before nightfall, the following cut-off times will be enforced. All timing chips must be returned at Harris Park by 9:00 PM 8/15/2009. If you insist on proceeding on the route beyond these cutoff times, you
must show that you have night safety equipment, surrender your chip, bib
number, and agree to disassociate yourself from the event.

special needs bags to be sent out to the various rest stops. Just put your
stuff into a ziplock bag and label it with your name and the rest stop
where you would like to pick it up. There will be a drop table for each

Barneveld, you must have it to us on Friday night.
CLOTHING RETURN BAGS:
If you want to have us bring something back from a venue (like a jacket,
or in Phil’s case, a sweaty pair of bike shorts), ask a volunteer at the
venue for a gallon sized ziplock and a sharpie. Put your stuff in the bag,
write your name and rider number on the bag and drop it in the bin. If you
are done with your special needs bag and want to pick it up at the finish,
drop it in the bin too. Our shuttle driver will take it back to Harris
Park where you can claim it at the info desk. Bear in mind that in some
cases you could get to Harris Park before your goods.
MASSAGE:
Students from Blue Sky School of massage will be doing their field
work at the event. They will be giving massages between 11:00 AM and

support signage. They will be carrying tools, tubes, and pumps. They can
also carry you to the nearest stop if necessary.
ROUTE UPGRADES / DOWNGRADES.
Please ride within your ability. The hotter it is, the slower you need to
go. If you would like to downgrade to a shorter distance, that's no
problem - decide out on the course. If you are used to cycling on the
surface of the sun (St. Louis), then maybe you'll think it's cool here
and you might want to stretch it out to 200 or 266K. Fine with us.
Just be sure to cross the timing loops at each rest stop. And be sure to tell the volunteer at chip collection which distance you rode.
