Aid stations will be provided at appropriate intervals. All routes (except mountain bike route) begin and end at Rotary Park (Columbine Middle School) in Montrose. The routes "overlap" and use mutual aid stations. Post event activities including a meal and a band are planned.

With most of the climbing done for the day, the riders head north. Views of the Grand Mesa and the Uncompahgre Plateau dominate this pleasant tour of rural farmland between Montrose and Delta.
