A few quick details:

• This is a self supported event - Yes, you are responsible for you! If you gotta pull the plug on the side of the gravel road, be sure you have someone available to pick you up!
  
• The course will NOT be marked. A cue sheet will be distributed prior to the event.
  
• All riders are required to have a cyclo computer that can track mileage - Yes, we will verify that you completed the entire distance at the end.
  
• Riders will be required to purchase a Nebraska Powerball Lottery ticket at each "checkpoint" as proof of reaching the checkpoint.
• The checkpoints will be small town gas station convenience stores. If you need fluids and sustenance, buy it there!
  
• The distance will be roughly 150 miles with around 8,000 to 11,000 feet of vertical elevation gain.
• This is a free event (except the four to five lottery tickets you gotta buy for a buck).
• The Golden Rule applies to this event. If someone needs help, stop and help out.

As always, we reserve the right to change any and everything whenever we see fit. We're pirates after all.
