Our event organizers have two main goals:  1. Rider safety, and 2. Rider and volunteer FUN.  For rider safety, and to ensure both riders and volunteers make it back to Cooks on time, rider cutoff times will be enforced.    All riders and volunteers must return to Cooks by 2:30pm. Expected checkpoint times assume a reasonable pace (7 miles per hour for 50 milers and 5 miles per hour for 25 milers).  Riders choosing to continue past the cutoff times will have their number plates punched and acknowledge that the balance of their ride will be unsupported.  (So behave yourselves – don’t make us have to call your mothers!)
