Each ride will be timed for personal tracking. These are rides, not races, so please follow all safety rules. There are six aid stations along the multiple routes, each with its own unique Italian food theme! We will also provide water, FLUID sports drink, CLIF bars and CLIF shots for energy, fruit, salty and sweet snacks.

Bike mechanics will be available prior to and post ride for quick tune-ups, as well as on all routes for support and sag. A free bike valet will be provided on race day so that you can prepare for your ride and relax afterwards with friends and family. Massage, beer and wine will all be available for purchase.
