FAQ’s

Q: What kind of bike should I ride?
A: A mountain bike, cross bike or some variation would seem to make sense, but it’s totally up to you.
Q: Are the roads marked?
A: Yes,  but we can’t guarantee the markers will be there when you get there. We’ll give you a map/cue sheet, and you should rely on them as your primary means of navigation. There are county road signs, and/or US Forest Service markers on most of the roads. Carrying a compass and knowing how to use it is highly recommended.
Q: Will I get lost?
A: Hopefully not, but it’s a possibility. You’ll have a good map so you should be able to solve any temporary misplacement. Again, a compass will help. If you end up in Lake Superior or Lake
 Michigan , then yes, I’d say you’re lost.
Q: Are there rest stops?
A: No, but you’re welcome to stop and rest where and when you want.
Q: Will my cell phone work?
 Good Luck
Q: If I do get to a phone and call, will you come and get me?
A: No. If you’re nice, and one of the locals can stop laughing at your lycra kit long enough, maybe they’ll give you a lift. REMEMBER, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOURSELF.
Q: Is this a closed course?
A: No. You should expect cars, trucks, ATV’s, motorcycles, and maybe other cyclists to be sharing the road with you, and coming around any corner, or over any hill. STAY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD! Also, bears, deer, wolves, coyotes, foxes, rabbits, squirrels, grouse, turkeys, and other critters too numerous to mention may make a sudden appearance. STAY ALERT!
