Support Crew
Every rider is required to have a support crew. They will be responsible for picking you up on course if you DNF or need a ride due to injury or mechanical problems. Any assistance from your crew at any point other than the designated checkpoint will result in a DNF.
Your support crew can be another rider as long as you both understand that you may have to wait at a bailout spot for the other rider to finish, before he/she can come to rescue you. We do not provide riders with transportation. It is your support crew’s responsibility to make sure you are accounted for at the end of the day! We will have someone sagging each distance, but if you make a wrong turn and the support misses you, we won’t know that you are still out there! Support crew will not be allowed out on course unless they are picking you up, but are allowed to meet you at the aid station to check on your well-being.
Most of the course does not have any cell service. Locations with cell service will be listed here prior to race day. It is the responsibility of the rider to make it to a spot where they can call their support crew to come and get them. If you leave the course, you are also required to inform the race director that you have left so we don’t come looking for you. Please let us know if you leave the course!
Your support crew is not allowed to drive the course! We don’t want a bunch of vehicles out there kicking up dust and interfering with other riders. The crew is allowed to meet you at the Flying V Aid Station. This is a great place for them to check up on your progress!
Navigation
This race will be sparsely marked and riders are responsible for their own navigation. We have provided a PDF map as well as GPX and KML files. Cue sheets will also be provided. Cell service is very sparse so be prepared to navigate the course and pay attention!
This race also takes place on open roads. Take care and follow the rules of the road. Stay on the right side, especially on blind corners. These roads are used by trucks and farm equipment. Be careful or you could easily get hit out there.
Weather
The race will happen regardless of the weather, and while Wyoming is always unpredictable, this time of year we could have anything from 80 degrees to cold and snowing! There is also a good chance of mud! So come prepared and have fun!
