POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
Morning Departures
Every
ride will begin with a group departure, unless otherwise noted.
It
is extremely
important
that
all participants
depart at the same time since our on road
logistic support plans depend on the same group departure time for all
participants regardless of where you start the ride from.
By
leaving early in the morning, we can take advantage of daylight hours
while assuring
a comfortable
arrival time in the next stopping town, including plenty of time
to replenish at our rest stops. There will also be sufficient time to handle
unexpected things that
may arise during your ride, such as flat tires, mechanical problems, and
severe weather conditions. Not only is it safer in the
morning because there is less
traffic, but it is generally cooler, making a more enjoyable ride. Departures from the Supported Hotels
Participants staying at the supported hotel will start the
ride directly from there at the group departure time.
We
will not have a rest stop set up with our snacks and drinks at the supported
hotel. If you
want these for the upcoming ride you
will
need
to ride
back
to
the
main lodging
site. Make
sure to give yourself plenty of time to be able to depart the
main lodging
site at the group departure time. |
