IMPORTANT REMINDER ON COURSE - We are so thankful to have the support of the City of Steamboat Springs and Routt County to put on this fantastic event. For safety and to honor our permit guidelines, it is very important that ALL RACERS follow pedestrian guidelines when on course for safety. The course is OPEN to all traffic, so please stay on the left side of the road, on the shoulder going towards the turn around and then cross over to the left side on the return. We will have police support at the intersection of Maple and Amethyst, a lead biker and rolling car support. Nonetheless, THE ROADS ARE OPEN to moving traffic. Thank you!!!
