Show up to start and you get a sticker, finish in under 24 hours and you get a patch. You must sign the Letter of Intent if you want to ride. This ride is NOT for the faint of heart. It’s designed to hurt your body and spirit. Tears will be shed. Complaints will be sent to the recycle bin. Human powered only (no e-bikes, mopeds, scooters, one wheels, sails or any of that shit). Self supported. Honor system tracking but GPS preferred. If you feel the need to cheat, you will be exposed before your peers. Have a responsible adult on speed dial for when you wanna bail.
