FAQ's
Q: Do we start and end at the same place? If I haul my bike up on a truck or trailer does it stay put until the end?
A: Yes, thus far the event has operated from a fixed "homebase" location and each day's route has a start/finish there.
Q: Are there support vehicles and do they carry supplies and tools or simply pick you up and drop you off at the next checkpoint?
A: Yes, we have course sweepers. Probably wisest to carry supplies/tools or anything else you may need on the road with you as not all the sweepers will neccessarily be covering the whole course AND they will be behind the last rider so there could be quite a wait. So far nobody has been left out in the woods overnight, though.
Q: Do people stay at the same motel as a group?
A: Yes, your motel accommodation is included with your entry.
Q: What does the event cost?
A: The entry fee for 2010 has not yet been set, every effort will be made to keep the basic (shared room) entry below $500. The entry includes 3 nights motel accommodation (Sun, Mon, Tue), catered lunch on Monday and Tuesday, Gala Awards Banquet on Tuesday night, event swag including t-shirt, stickers, embroidered patch, route sheets and maps, etc. Sometimes we also have a Monday evening dinner hosted by an event participant/benefactor. Please e-mail girodcalifornia@earthlink.net if you would be interested in hosting or sponsoring the Monday evening dinner.
