|                     POLICIES AND PROCEDURESOptions
 
  Options are just that – options.
                      You do not ever have to ride an option if you do
                    not wish to.
                      Options  are intended to challenge more advanced cyclists
                 and/or visit specific unique historical, cultural, or natural
                 attractions close to our main routes; they are not a required
                 part of any event. Century OptionsIn general, century options are set up at the end of the
                      day rather than the beginning of the day. The end of
                      the day is a more appropriate time to decide whether or
                      not you can physically complete the century during the
                      times the route is open. We encourage you to complete every
                      day's ride without taking advantage of a support vehicle
                      just because the wrong decision was made about your physical
                  condition prior to undertaking the century option.
 All century options have been designed so that you will
                    always attain 100 miles of riding regardless of any other
                    options you may have previously
                    ridden
                    that day. |
