After leaving Charlie Finn Memorial Ballpark, the ride start location, riders will take Louisiana state highways to Waldheim and then up to Folsom before looping around and taking the same route back to the ballpark.
Riders will have the option of choosing between a route of 50km and 100km. Rest stops will be available at the halfway point of both routes with water, snacks, and bathrooms for rider use.
The ride will begin promptly at 8:00am on November 6, 2021. Parking will be provided at the ride start location. Riders will be required to check in, or if not already registered, do so at the Day-Of Registration booth. Basic bike parts and riding necessities will be available for purchase at the ride start.
