**We need our GII Ride Marshals in full effect for this event.**
We designed three routes: a 62-mile route with 2,985ft. elevation for advanced riders, a 40-mile route at 1,952ft. of elevation for intermediate riders, and a 21-mile route at 1,129 ft. of elevation for those who want to work the cobwebs out of their legs from the winter.

Each route has Self-Supported rest stops with bathrooms and food/drinks for purchase. Some Rest Stops are optional; check the cue sheet for details.

**Today's rides will be SAG-supported**
IF YOU ARE RIDING THE METRIC (62 MILES), YOU CASH APP $5 $RodneyJNoland. For non-paid GII members, please bring $7 for SAG
IF YOU ARE RIDING THE 40 OR 20, YOU CASH APP $ZOAROO

For paid members, please bring $5 for SAG. For non-paid GII members, please bring $7 for SAG. PLEASE BRING EXACT CHANGE IF PAYING WITH CASH. IF YOU GIVE THEM MORE, THANKS FOR THE TIP! The SAG number will be provided at the ride.

Why do we have Support and Gear (SAG)? To ensure you and your bike get back to your car safely, if you have an accident, cannot finish the ride, incur a mechanic, have medical issues, or maybe you have Biked off more than you can do. SAG will assist you in these matters. In other words, Crap Happens!
All GII paid members have FREE access to GII's Ride with GPS mobile voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation.

PACE:
Fast (Group A/B): 18-20+ mph. For experienced riders who want a fast, challenging workout.
Steady (Group C): 15-17 mph. A brisk pace for those who ride regularly.
Social/Beginner (Group D): 10-15 mph. A relaxed, "no-rider-left-behind" pace is perfect for newcomers.
