ROUTE NAVIGATION & GPS 

Please download the route to your personal GPS device before arriving for your ride. 

Riders are responsible for bringing their own GPS device and having the appropriate route downloaded and ready to navigate. We strongly encourage every rider to have the route available on their own device, even if you plan to ride with a group.

Rides take place on open roads. Riders are expected to follow all traffic laws, ride responsibly, and be prepared to navigate their registered route.
