IMPORTANT! SATURDAY TOUGH TURNS

Grand and Mondo riders, be prepared to maintain a pace that gets you to the TOUGH TURN before the 12:30 cutoff time!

• Tough Turn is at Mile 52 on the Grand 109 and Mile 71 on the Mondo 127.
• Grand riders must average at least 10.4 mph and Mondos 14.2 mph to make it by 12:30.
• Distance remaining on regular course after the Tough Turn is 57 miles for both routes.
• If turned at Tough Turn, total adjusted ride distance will be 69 miles on the 109 or 88 miles on the 127. 
• Bib number and adjusted total times of riders arriving after the cutoff will be recorded.
• Turned riders are still eligible for KOM/QOM Saturday.

NOTE! Any rider who refuses to turn if instructed, will forfeit their timing chip and bib number on the spot and will proceed unsupported and ineligible for KOM/QOM, or Gran Fondo Celebrazione tent access.

These are challenging rides with hills and wind. All route supports ends at 6:00 p.m. Saturday. All riders and especially Grand 109 and Mondo 127 riders should train to complete the distance you choose within the allotted times.

PARKING

Best bet.... park once and ride your bike all weekend! The three festival venues are within a very short ride from each other and from all downtown area hotels.

Friday and Saturday, on-street parking is available all over the downtown area. There are surface parking lots available within blocks of the Blue Dome and Brady Village venues in all directions.

START LINES

PLEASE stage yourselves according to the pace you expect to ride. Hyper fast riders and riders trying for time awards at the front, slower riders behind.

TIMING

All riders will be issued a timing chip that must be worn throughout the ride. Chips must be picked up Friday, June 7, from 4:00 p.m. till 9:00 p.m at the Blue Dome Criterium course. Timing system will be used to determine winners of all awards and to track numbers of riders taking each route to assist promoters in managing route support.

All riders will proceed under a controlled pace escort for approximately 4 miles to 41st and Riverside, where the timing begins. Once past the timing start line, the escort pace will pick up to 20-22 mph until the release point in Jenks. Do not pass the police escort.
