All riders assume personal liability and are encouraged to use caution on public roads and when riding in a group. The ride starts and finishes at Upland Jeffersonville and offers two route options of approximately 37 and 58 miles. A single SAG stop near Sellersburg outside Sprigler Concrete Inc. will serve both routes with food, beverages, and a porta potty, supported by volunteers and Middle of Town Cycles.
