All participants are required to register prior to the event, wear a helmet and obey all traffic laws throughout the course. While strict safety measures are in place throughout the course, no roads will be closed to traffic during this ride.
A 26-mile ride of this nature requires tremendous planning and the cooperation of all seven communities, their police departments, the Rhode ISland Department of Transportation, State Police and from all participants and volunteers.
