If you accept help from anyone beyond that offered by a fellow rider, you will be disqualified.

Prearranged outside support is not allowed.

You must wear a helmet and obey any traffic laws. Use your head and remember you represent the entire cycling community .Don’t be an Ass and respect the land you travel over as well as the people you might meet along the way.

You will be riding on multi use trails, Yield to the other users.

You must stay on the course .If you leave the course for any reason you, must re-enter at your point of exit or you will be disqualified.

We are not going to come and bail you out .You are on your own.

Bike choice is up to you! We are allowing mountain bikes, 29rs, cross or road bikes(not recommended ).

The terrain has some sandy areas so keep this in mind. But cross bikes would definitely work. All single speeds must finish and start in the same gear, you can run a flip flop hub but both gears must have the same number of cogs.

Riders will get a course map ,Cue sheet or GPS file.To be determined.

The event will happen regardless of the weather or the tides.

A cell phone might come in handy.Make sure it can hold a charge for the entire ride (no chargers in the woods)

Riders can help other riders with mechanical support.

You will encounter a lot of wild animals; make sure you know how to handle yourself in the presence of wild boars, alligators,deer and snakes .Look before you stand, fire ants can ruin your day. Depending on the amount of rain some of the trails might be under water that means more bugs.

There is limited sag support.

Be ready to experience a side of Florida most never encounter.

There will be a time limit for the event, the park closes at 6 pm.You car has to be out of the parking lot by then or you will be locked in.

Remember to have fun
