Online registration will remain open until 7:30am on ride day/approximately 30 minutes prior to the start time, when check in closes.

It's important to note that same day registration will only be available in a paperless fashion. You'll be directed here to sign up, sign the liability waiver, and pay via card or Apple Pay. Once you show us your phone so we can see you've completed it, we'll hand you your $10 meal voucher and route profile sticker, and you'll be ready to roll!

While registering, please consider ordering event T-shirts for yourself and your entire family to support all GCBC events for the year!

We will have a couple volunteers in neon vests assisting with parking organization as everyone is coming in. Once you're parked and ready, come on over to the check in table which will be under the large pavilion. Check in will be open from 6:30-7:30am, with a hard stop at 7:30am- for all distances.

Blue Cliff College will arrive at 7:30am and will be offering complimentary massages! Please enjoy that along with camaraderie with your fellow riders, as you wait for your distance to go off. Bathrooms on site along with 2 brand new port a potties will be available at the start/finish area.

We will do the following staggered start times, with the hope that we all finish around the same time:

~ 75 milers at 8am

~ 44 milers at 8:30am

~ 20 milers at 9am

Police traffic control and road markings/signage will both be present but limited, so all participants should download routes to their computers, plan to play the route from their RWGPS app on their phone, or carry printed turn-by-turn directions with them. For instructions on how to download routes to your Garmin, Wahoo, or other computer, see the Ride With GPS Help page at https://support.ridewithgps.com/hc/en-us/articles/4419007646235-Export-File-Formats and your computer’s documentation.

Tented and fully stocked rest stops will be at miles 9, 31, and 50. Huge thank you to the Mississippi Mustangs for providing these nutrition/aid stations for us all.

Miles 31 and 50 will each also have a brand new port a potty available.

SAG will be provided by Ironman and fellow cyclist, Clay Morse. Clay will have first aid supplies, tube repair supplies, critical nutrition supplies and ice cold water. If you have an emergency and need to be picked up and taken back to the start, Clay's cell is 601.528.0324. We will also be making sure you have this number at check in. Huge thank you to Clay Morse for stepping up!

The route profile stickers/providing navigational cues we are including for all participants regardless of when they register will also be very helpful to have. They are designed to be placed physically on your bike's frame, so you can look down and know when the next turn is coming without having to change your positioning on the bike.

The store front of Snow Boogers and one food truck- Los Sarapes Tacos & Mas- will be begin serving at 10:30am. Your $10 meal voucher can go towards either of these great options. Please be prepared to bring more money in case what you'd like to order exceeds the $10!

For any out-of-towners, there are two Airbnbs on-site that will be available to rent on a first-come, first-serve basis!
