Packet pick up starts on Friday evening 9/19/24 at Peaceful Side Social  from 5:00-6:30 Pm and resumes on Saturday morning of Race Day (9/21/24) at 7:30 Am at the Dancing Bean Coffee House.   All rides leave around 8:50 Am. Once again, we will ride through the curves with a full police escort! Post ride gourmet lunch starts at 10:30 Am and ends at 1:45 pm. Please use RIDEWITHGPS for our routes. It's free. We will provide detailed  routes closer to Event Day. Please plan your ride accordingly. Thank you to the Blount Partnership.
