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.
4. Know your start & end times:

Parking:

Enter through Park Meadows Blvd, turn west on Schwab Way and follow the road around to the parking lot. Please follow all signs and the instructions of your parking directors to ensure everyone’s safety.

Arrival and Check-In:

There is a $25 registration fee on Tour Day and you must have raised the $250 fundraising minimum to participate in the Tour de Cure. Please enter your donations online or bring credit/check/cash to the day of the event. Pay attention to your arrival time for your chosen route distance. We want to ensure you have enough time before the ride to check-in. When you arrive at the Tour site, you will head to the Registration Tent to check-in, receive your bib and turn in any additional offline donations you have received. 

Important Note: There is only Check-In Registration day of event. No early Packet Pick-Up. Please be advised that if you registered online, your emergency waiver form was completed before finalizing your registration. Individuals who register on-site will be required to complete the paper emergency waiver form.

We are excited to announce that RaceCo will be back on site at Tour de Cure this year to offer a streamlined process for check-in. The Registration Tent will be open from 6:00am – 9:00 am on Saturday, and all participant check-in will only occur day of event.

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:

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.

 Rest Stops: 

There are five (5) rest stops conveniently located at regular intervals along the route. You’ll be able to take a rest, get fruit and/or a snack, sip on an energy drink, and refill your water bottles. Port-o-Potties/Restroom facilities will be available at ALL Rest Stops!
