Access Window Roll Out -
To ensure we are keeping everyone as safe as possible, and to assist in social distancing, all participants must sign up for a Venue Access Window for ride out. If you have not already signed up for an Access Window, please do so ASAP HERE before July 5th. If you are a part of a team – check with your team captain to make sure they signed you up. It is their duty as Team Captain to sign the whole team up for an access window. If you have not signed up by July 5th, you will be automatically assigned to an open access window.
There will be three Access Window times:
6:15 a.m. - 7:00 a.m. (Purple Wristband)
6:45 a.m. - 7:30 a.m. (Yellow Wristband)
7:15 a.m. - 7:45 a.m. (Green Wristband)
When you arrive on site, you will check in at our Mandatory Check-In Tent and receive a wristband that is color coordinated to your access window. You may proceed to the start line during your access window time and staff will release you.
