****Important safety notice - all cyclists must wear a helmet and have a red tail light. The GCBC Board strongly recommends all riders have a white front light in accordance with Mississippi laws. As we all know, the weather can impede visability. Bike lights help ensure you can be seen by motorists and other cyclists. Safety first when riding on open roads.****

Southern Magnolia will have 4 amazing route options! One route is just right for all levels of cyclists.

FOUR route options are:

27 miler: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49715901

44 miler: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/55196224

66 miler: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49715876

100 miler: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/49761960

The 100 miler will have an 8 hour time limit. If you're not at the 52 mile mark rest stop by noon (the 4 hour mark), you won't be on pace to get under 8 hours for the 100 and will be strongly encouraged to take the bail out, which means you'll go east on Vestry, then take 15 north past Silver Run General Store (formerly Ramsey Spring General Store), continue further north on 15 until you get to King Bee, hang a left and be home free- just 9 miles away from home base (the start/finish at the Big Level intersection). It's critical you take the bail out if you don't get to that stop by noon.

Rest stop locations: (subject to change) The rest stops for the 44 mile route to be added.

1- at the start/finish- 26 mi mark for 100 milers

• Food and hydration supplies. All hydration supplies provided by Tailwind Nutrition.

• Positioned as close to the 4 way stop as possible so riders don’t have to go too far to find it

2- King Bee and Hwy 15 at the fire station- 18 mi mark for the 27 milers, 9 mi mark for the 66 and 100 milers

• Port a potty

• Food, cooling towels, and hydration supplies. All hydration supplies provided by Tailwind Nutrition.

3- Red Creek and Vestry- 52 miles for 100 and 22 mile mark for 66, also the pivot point for Burger Bail Out if 100 milers are not there by noon (4 hour mark)
