WAYFINDING
The base routes (15, 35, 50 & 80 miles) will be marked with both directional signs and green arrows painted on the pavement. All routes head out of Dunlap the same way as the 80-miler and return to Dunlap the same way as the 80-miler. The only difference between the routes is when they split off the 80-mile route and loop back. The places where the 15, 35 and 50-mile routes split off will be clearly marked with signs and painted asphalt.
​​
The three optional climbs (out & back spurs off of the base routes) will be marked with both directional signs and orange arrows painted on the pavement.
PRE-RIDE COFFEE
We'll have free coffee available before the ride on Saturday near packet pickup thanks to our friends at Game Shack Café!
