The route will be fully mapped and we will provide it once finalized.

We will stop for good full lunches. Each night is a party. Full SAG support, food and beverages on road, and motel rooms are included.

During the ride we like to compete in a gentlemen’s points race. Every city and county line is a sprint for points. First to cross gets 5 points, second 4, third 3, fourth 2, and fifth gets 1 point. County lines are worth double. There must be a posted sign on the route for it to count. But you must also ride with ride with the group, stopping at turns and occasional beer stop. Winner gets respect or another beer or something.
