RIDE SAFETY

• Before Gravel Day, determine if you need to have your bike tuned up and review the Rules of The Road and safety resources at www.pelotonia.org/safety 
• All Riders should know how to change their tire and be prepared with the needed parts and tools to do so.  
• Helmets are required and must be worn at all times while riding. 
• SAG (Support and Gear) vehicles, Volunteers, and Pelotonia Team Members will be available throughout the day to provide you with assistance.  
• If you need support for any reason during Gravel Day, please call or text 1-855-889-RIDE (7433). 

RIDER CHECK-IN & CREDENTIAL PICK-UP 

• After parking, each participant should proceed to Check-In with a driver’s license or other photo ID to receive their Credentials. Please plan to arrive at the start location between 7:00am and 7:30am to ensure you have enough time to check in and enjoy the provided breakfast. 
• Those who did not participate in Ride Weekend will receive their participation gift at Check-In.

START INFORMATION 

• All Riders must start the ride at the official start location. Law enforcement and support vehicles will be timed with the Riders who participate in the organized start.  
• Your cooperation is key to making the start of Pelotonia safe and enjoyable for everyone. If you do not leave with the organized start, you will be proceeding at your own risk. 
• Please do not put yourself and your fellow Riders in danger by violating these rules. Thank you in advance for your cooperation! 

REST STOPS & HYDRATION 

• Drinks, food, mechanical support, and first aid assistance will be available at every stop.  
• A small hydration stop with drinks and snacks will be available around mile 19, offering a quick refuel between rest stops 1 and 2. 

• Bring at least one water bottle with you.  
• Do not rely on thirst to guide your hydration, because thirst kicks in only after you are already becoming dehydrated.  
• Please review this quick guide for tips on staying hydrated and energized throughout the day. 

OPTIONAL BAILEYS TRAIL EXTENSION 

• This is an advanced route option that is completely optional and will add approximately half a mile to the route of any Riders who choose to take it.  
• To opt in to the extension, please carefully follow signage posted at the route split, which takes place at approximately mile 40 on the 48-mile route. 

FINISH INFORMATION 

• Ask any family and friends meeting you at the finish line to carefully follow the signage and instructions from law enforcement officers and Volunteers. Guests must be vigilant about watching out for participants no matter where they are on the property.  
• Family and friends can use the Pelotonia Tracker app to follow your progress on the route and see your estimated finish time. Spectators should download the app and search your name within the Gravel Day event to receive push notifications when you start your ride, exit rest stops, are 2 miles from your finish venue, and complete your Ride. The Pelotonia Tracker app is available for download from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
