9 Basic Rules
Bicycle riding is just not that complicated. Nor does it seem that the quality of the gravel riding experience is in any way tied to the size of a rulebook. Everyone that comes here understands that when it comes to breaking or even bending a rule that the stakes aren’t really measured in dollars (or dollars lost). They’re measured in personal integrity.
Rule #1: BE COOL!
Sounds Simple, but it covers a lot of ground.
Courses
Courses will be announced 7-14 days prior to the event.
There will be a Wednesday Welcome Party/Route Discussion Party the Wednesday of race week.
Where To Stay?
We have several options! Hotel, AirBnB, Camping. We will announce our hotel partners in 2025!
What To Do In Town
Lincoln is full of amazing shops, restaurants, hotels, and attractions. Downtown Lincoln is 8 miles west of the start line, with access to it by bike trail.
We recommend starting at Aragon Tavern for some good food and beer, then check out all the events and attractions on the Lincoln Tourism Page.
