  • Online sign up is open until the week of the race!

    Having a mechanical failure during the event can be a bummer.

  • The roads are open to traffic, although sparse, and you are obligated to follow the local traffic laws, instructions by the police and our volunteers.

  • Yes, time limits will be announced closer to the event. We have sweeper vehicles that will tap out riders. Chances are, if you are picked up by our sweepers, you probably won’t mind the ride back to Wyarno because you are most likely too tired to finish anyway.
