For the dinner
this year we will be having one big dinner on Saturday night for
the tour and race participants so everyone can mingle. The dinner
will commence around 4:00 pm and continue on until about 8:00
pm. The pancake breakfast will remain as they were. One on Saturday
morning for the tour riders and then another on Sunday morning
for the race riders. Breakfast time will be from 6:00 am until
7:45 am at which time we will have a riders meeting.

As last year,
we will be giving out a token to tour riders to signify their
completed distance.
This year
we will be giving a payout to the
top three race participants in each of the following categories:
Men, Women, Single Speed.
We are also
wanting to see if we can get someone to really burn up this course.
So we are offering $500.00 for anyone who can beat the standing
course time record. For more information check out the Course
Time Reward page.
