The lead group will be fully-escorted through the course with a lead and rear vehicle. No rider is allowed to pass the lead vehicle and if a rider falls off the lead groups pace, they are required to then obey all traffic laws.
-
Will transportation be provided to or from the different starts and the finish festival?
-
Yes. FREE shuttles will be take 29-mile and 59-mile participants back to the start location where your vehicle is located. Due to limited space, the shuttle will only be for participants, not bicycles. Bikes are not allowed on the shuttles under any circumstances. When you finish the ride at the Richmond Raceway Complex, check your bike in Bike Parking, leaving the number plate on your bike. The shuttle will take participants to the starting location of both the 29- and 59-mile courses. Drive your car back to the raceway to retrieve your bike. You will be able to retrieve your bike by showing the bike parking attendant your bib number corresponding with the number plate on your bike. Shuttles will begin at 2 pm.
