Just a reminder to those coming along that attendance at the ride briefing is MANDATORY for ALL riders in the 5k and 20k rides (per event nomination form) and MANDATORY for NOVICE riders in the 40k and 80k rides (per Rule 26.8).

Any rider noted above who fails to attend the briefing risks elimination pre-ride.

26.8 Attendance at the pre-ride briefing is recommended for all riders and is mandatory for novice riders. Non-attendance at the pre-ride briefing is not an excuse for failure to comply with a specific ride requirement communicated at the pre-ride briefing.
