Warning: The above maps should only be used to get a general idea of the route. The route is finalized and marked only days before the ride making it difficult to update these maps in time. The route is well marked (arrows painted on the road, signs, etc.). Your packet will include an updated paper map. If you load the route into your GPS, do not follow it blindly - follow the course markings.

HELMETS ARE MANDATORY FOR ALL RIDERS!
