There are some amazing views on the course and it's scheduled during peak foliage. Cyclists are 100% responsible for navigating the course. There will be no directional arrows on the course. We recommend Ride with GPS app and bringing a copy of the cue sheet. There will be one water stop. Entrants will receive Endurance Society swag and finishers will receive a finisher's award. A unique award will be presented to top 3 in each category.
