Tour de Cure Day of Event
Before you hop on your bike, important notes prior to September 9th:
1. Bring a helmet. You must have a helmet to ride.
2. Make sure you have met the $250 fundraising minimum. If you plan to bring additional donations or make a personal gift the morning of the ride, we will have a credit card system on site and collection envelopes on the information table.
3. Weather: We know weather in Colorado can be temperamental, so keep an eye on the weather leading up to ride day. Be sure to bring layers and sunblock. Overcast weather can be deceiving.

Here are a few things you can expect after your ride:
Along the course:
Route Support: The Motorcycles and SAG Vehicles (Support and Gear) will be offering support to the Tour riders on every route and will be marked with a bright blue, yellow and red signs or a bright orange route flag.
If you have stopped along the roadside and need assistance, make sure to flag them down and hold your arm out with your thumb down. They can provide cyclists with roadside assistance and have the capability to call for medical or emergency assistance anywhere along the route.
Very important - If you have stopped and DO NOT need assistance, please give them a 'thumbs up' to prevent them from having to stop when it is not necessary. Minors must be accompanied by an adult in the SAG vehicle.
Bike Route Marshals:
Our official Bike Route Marshals will be wearing “BIKE ROUTE MARSHAL” bibs as they ride the routes to ensure riders are following the “rules of the road.” They are also there to help you if you need anything!
Course Closing: The routes will close at the following times:

Time Close |

There is no support after the close time. Please ensure you have trained to be able to finish your route in time. As late afternoon approaches, one of our SAG vehicles will ask you if you would like to be brought to the finish.
