A Quick Overview of the Route
Due to the extensive miles we cover, you can understand why our
routes are constantly being checked for safety, construction dates, detours,
etc. You can view our 2012 route which will be similar to the 2013
route, however, rest stops must be confirmed, bridge construction
cleared, road paving complete, etc before we publish our official route
for 2013.
Check out last year's route info HERE to get an idea of what lies ahead!
Once registered, you'll have access to our cyling training tips, and person-to-person contact with veteran riders.
