Day-of-Registration will be held on site from 6:00 to 7:30am first rider off at 8:00am.  Registration will be $20 per rider, $5 per junior rider and $30 per tandem pair.  No payout, but ALL PROCEEDS will go to the LIVESTRONG foundation to benefit cancer research in hopes of finding a cure.

    Total distance for the course will be 30k for all categories.  There will be race volunteers directing traffic at the start/finish, intersections and turnaround, but keep in mind that the course IS OPEN to traffic so be aware, and stay as far to the right as is safe and reasonable at all times.
