- This is not a race; rather it is a self-paced ride. Cut-off times will be strictly enforced. The Finish line officially closes at 6:30 p.m. We will be doing a sweep of the course in addition to helping out riders who do not make a cut off time.

- Please make sure both you and your bike are ready to cover the full distance of this ride.

- Please be courteous and leave your private support vehicles in town. We offer support and aid stations, so we can all ride with minimal traffic.
SAG Support and Medical information
Support vehicles will be roaming the routes. Look for the event vehicles in case you need help. An Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) will be riding the Tour de Steamboat route and a second EMT will be in a support vehicle. If you need help at anytime, please let our volunteers know at an aid station or on the route via support vehicles. All routes, except the 116 mile ride, have good cell service along the entire routes. The 116 mile ride has spotty service. The gravel route has service along some of the route. All riders must be prepared with a GPS. Once entering the gravel portion of this ride off Rabbit Ears Pass, the closest support vehicle will be at Gore Pass. Please call 911 in the event of an emergency.
