Sag Wagons

Sag wagons will monitor each of the courses with water and road assistance to help riders experiencing mechanical trouble or those who become too fatigued to finish. Please be prepared to handle your own flats and minor repairs. Jurisdictional police and sheriff’s department officers will be on hand to make sure your ride is safe and enjoyable.

What to bring

Aid Stations will be stocked with food and drink so you don’t have to load yourself down to better enjoy your ride. We will be well stocked with carbs and other essential nutrients including cookies, fruit, and lots of water. There will also be energy bars and an electrolyte drink.

Remember to layer. As is typical in Colorado, the morning is likely to be cool and afternoon can get quite hot. Please be prepared and carry the clothes you will need to moderate your personal temperature.

There will be support vehicles on course and mechanics at selected Aid Stations. But stay prepared and carry what you need especially a pump and tube for flats otherwise you may have to wait for the help to arrive. Don’t forget sunscreen, a camera and perhaps a little cash just in case.

Rider Registration Numbers

All riders must have their number visible and ride with personal identification. Colorado State Patrol has the authority to remove anyone from the course without a rider registration number.
