New Layout at MATC Mequon: We have reconfigured our layout at MATC Mequon for this year. Our new arrangement will allow for more controlled traffic flow and parking. Our tented areas will now be set up in the West Annex Lot with overflow parking and luggage drop off in the West Lot where we’ve been set up in years past.
No transportation to/from Appleton or Madison: It is no longer cost effective to offer this as an option. We will however, still transport riders back to Manitowoc on day two.
One-day Option for BOTH days!: The one-day option is back, but we are now offering it for both days of the ride. Please note that we will not offer transportation back to Mequon at the end of day one.
Cheer Teams: This year, we plan to have designated cheer teams throughout the route. We’re inspired by all of our riders and want to show them our support by greeting them with smiles, and lots of cheer!

1. Follow the Rules of the Road: You are sharing the road with several riders and motorists. Be conscious of your position on the road, and make sure to use hand signals, pictured at the left, when necessary. 2. Ride Single File: Riding single file and staying as close to the right side of the road as possible gives motorists and other riders the opportunity to safely pass. Call out “car back” when a car is approaching from behind to inform riders already not doing so to ride single file 3. Passing: Make sure to alert other riders when you intend to pass. Yell, “On your left,” or “Passing,” to let them know you are coming. That way they can slow down and allow you to safely pass. ***DO NOT PASS ON THE RIGHT!***
