Course Cutoff Times
100 Mile Course
The 100 mile ride is among one of the most difficult rides in Southern California with significant climbing, mostly in the second half of the route, and at high altitude. Due to time and safety constraints, any rider wishing to complete the 100 mile route MUST be at the Onyx I – Blue Sky Meadows Aid Station by 12:30pm, or they will be turned around and asked to complete the 70 mile course since they will not get back before the course closes.
Trained medical personnel will also be at that station looking for dehydrated or overtired looking riders. If you
are asked to consider turning around, it is for your own safety and the warning should be adhered to.
Cedar Falls
After cresting Onyx Summit, it is a long downhill to the bottom of Santa Ana River Canyon before turning around and riding the 10-mile climb back to the top of Onyx Summit at 8-10% grade. All riders must leave Cedar Falls Aid Station by 1:00pm cutoff. There is only one rest stop between Cedar Falls and Onyx Summit at about 10 miles of climbing, so plan accordingly.
South Fork
Halfway between Cedar Falls and Onyx Summit you will see the South Fork campground. About 1 mile past that is the South Fork Aid Station. This is a limited Aid Station with some food but mostly just a water station. All riders must leave South Fork rest area by 2:00pm cutoff.
Gravel Station Three – Gravel Course Only
On the South Side of the Gravel loop towards the West end of the course is the First Gravel Aid Station. This is a limited Aid Station with some food but mostly just a water station. All riders must leave the First Aid Station area by 1:30pm cutoff.
Course Sweeps
All six courses close at 5:00pm. The SAG vehicles will act as course sweepers to radio the progress of slower riders. At 5:00pm the courses are closed and all support vehicles will end.
