Bring your bathing suit and a towel and take a cool dip after the ride in the olympic size pool. Shower facilities are also available.

The longer rides start an hour earlier and I think you can start as soon as you are registered. All the routes are marked. I'll be working two reststops. We are moving one mid-ride, so it will be the "portable" reststop. When you get to the one with the gourmet snacks, I'll be there. We hope to have fresh squeezed lemonade again, too.
