TEAMS CAN BE NO MORE THAN 3 PEOPLE FOR SAFETY. PLEASE PLAN YOUR TEAMS AND SUBMIT FORMS ACCORDINGLY! Ride times will have groups departing every 4 minutes. Groups may *not* wait for/join up with each other during the infield riding portion of the trail, which is during the first part of the ride.
Hilltoppers & Trail Riders should plan on riding in earlier times of the day, and last team will be scheduled to depart no later than 2:00.
First Flight riders will be scheduled throughout the day with last team scheduled to depart no later than 3:15.
Please note: we will make every attempt for your ride time and will assign on a first received, first served basis to be as close as possible to your desired start time but cannot guarantee so. Ride times will be posted on 12/5/22 @ 12pm CST on our website as well as sent via email.
*********************
We want to recognize and thank the Love Family and their incredible neighbors for hosting us in years past. Unfortunately, a neighbor's land sold that made up a large portion of the trail. In order to provide a great experience for all attending, we made the decision to relocate this year’s ride.
We are thrilled to offer the opportunity to ride the infield and trails at Percy Warner Park with huge thanks to the Butler Family for sponsoring the cost of the park rental! We know you’ll love the ride and can’t wait to continue the tradition with you!
