	We will no longer keep time - this only encourages participants, especially those concerned about their times, to go too fast at unsafe speeds putting others on the trails at risk. You will have to option to start anytime between 5:00 am and 6:00 am. If you wish to start early you must pick up your packet on Friday. Friends can pick up packets for others. You must check in with staff in the morning before starting. No matter which time you start you must make Aid Station #1 cut-off time of 10:00 am and the cut-off time of 12:30 at the intersection of Maple Springs Road and the Main Divide Road. Participants are reminded that this is not a race; it is an endurance event where the whole point is to finish. You are responsible if you collide with any trail user (as stated in the release) and will be DQ’ed. If the public reports you are riding in an unsafe manner you will be DQ’ed. Our insurance does not cover you if you collide with other trail users. You have the option to bring your own bags of supplies for the Aid Stations and they must be in bags that can be thrown away after the event. Number the bags “Aid Station #1” and Aid Station #2 so we know where to send them. We will be providing Hammer Nutrition gels, hydration mix and water at the aid stations.
