On-Course Rider Services

Sag Vehicles* If you (and your bike) need a lift to the next Rest Stop or to the daily finish, we will have several SAG wagons on the course each day to take you there. To signal a SAG vehicle, follow these three steps: (1) move off the road and out of the path of other riders, (2) dismount and stand near your bike, and (3) give the SAG vehicle a thumbs down. SAG vehicles will, generally, be available on the route and at Rest Stops. At peak hours, SAG vehicles may be full. Please be patient; another SAG vehicle will be by soon. *Personal SAG vehicles are prohibited at Rest Stops and on the route. Rest Stops are located approximately every 10-16 miles throughout the course. Check your route map for exact locations. Stop, get a snack, use the restroom, and refill your water bottles. Each Rest Stop is staffed by volunteers handing out food and drinks, a medical team, and a mechanical team. Bicycle Mechanics will be on hand throughout the duration of the event for those in need of assistance. Repairs are free but youll need to cover the cost of parts. Please be prepared to handle your own minor repairs i.e. flat tires. Make sure to thank our partnering bike shop mechanics for their dedication and assistance! Medical Service will be available at all Rest Stops and will have basic first aid items on hand. Emergency vehicles and Riding Medics will be on the route to provide medical assistance if necessary. Medical assistance will also be available at the finish line at CSU on Saturday, and FRCC on Sunday. Radio Communication will be available at all Rest Stops. In case of an emergency, please contact the nearest HAM radio operator or staff member. If unavailable, please call 911 for emergencies. Support is available on the route if necessary. Be on the lookout for Riding Marshals, Riding Medics, SAG Vehicles, Gold Wing motorcyclists, Colorado State Patrol, and other event staff.
