  Some cars will remain at Beaver Stadium, while others will transport riders/bikes to Bald Eagle.

  A volunteer will be on-site to help organize vehicles and loading.

  Once riders return to Beaver Stadium, a volunteer will wait with bikes while drivers retrieve cars left at Bald Eagle.

  Please budget extra time to assist with the carpooling process.

  Aid Station & Ride Support

  One aid station will be available after the long climb around mile 41 (off W Church Street).

  Plan to carry enough nutrition and fluids to get you through the climb and early miles.

  Aid station offerings may include snacks, bottle refills, endurance drinks, and fueling options. Sponsors and specifics will be announced closer to the event.

  • This ride is not SAG-supported.

  • Assistance with transportation or pickup may be available if needed.
