Ride Leader Update 
Anne Schroll - 10-12 mph - 29 mile route
Bob Coady, Libby Shawgo and Jen Rockwell - 12-15 mph - 58 mile route
Nick Courtney - 14-15 mph - 36 mile route
Casey Primm - 16-8 mph - 58 mile route
IMPORTANT --- Note about the 58-mile Route
Mile 30 of the 58-mile route crosses the Sangamon River via the Bolivia Bridge. The road is closed and you will see signs confirming that, but tradition is to dismount and walk your bike across the old bridge. This is a great photo opp. 
Cutoff Times for Aid Station and SAG
The Aid station and SAG support will end at 2:00. Please choose a route distance that will enable you to finish by that time. 
Again, thank you for signing up for the 2023 Sangamon Cycling Series! We look forward to seeing you at this weekend!
