· Important safety information: Please obey all traffic laws, particularly when in town and when traversing paved roads. When cresting a hill, stay to the far right side of the road. Be vigilant and mindful of traffic especially on the few sections of paved road, particularly on the 2nd and 3rd loops. The course crosses rail-road tracks and sometimes at an angle, make sure to use caution. Although the event organizers and volunteers are more than willing to help riders who face unforeseen circumstances to the best of our ability, the underlying reality is that all riders are considered to be part of an independent excursion and the rule that “You are responsible for You” applies.
