Ride Map

OK since many of you like to study more detail about the ride, below are the ride maps.
I put these ride maps on the web page because I know a few of you love looking at the ride detail and dreaming about the ride. At first glance these maps do not look so impressive, but they are way cool. If you start zooming in, you can see the ride in incredible detail. I have spent a ton of hours sorting through the details of the ride for each day, so for those of you that enjoy this sort of thing, well enjoy!

FAQ:
Q: Do I need a licensed bike?
A: Yes, there are many section dirt sections that require it.
Sidebar: Some people want to know how I create so many great rides; the answer is simple. It's explained well in this 7 min Ted video: KirbyFerguson: Embrace the remix. Wow! Yes, I copy, transform and combine, come up with new ideas and remix. Then frankly, I give it away so that others may do the same. OK, so join in on some of these rides and let’s make them OUR rides! Share the world, make it a better place. Open source rules in life!
Refund Policy
Do not sign up for this ride unless you are serious about coming. I take your signup very seriously and start planning for you the minute you sign up. If you need to cancel up to one month prior to the ride start date I will give you a full refund. If you need to cancel within one month of the ride I can not give a refund unless I can find a replacement rider. In the case of finding a replacement rider, I will gladly give you the full refund minus $100 to cover the planning work. In the event of ride cancellation, you will be given a full refund.
Sorry, but I make non refundable commitments myself so it gets hard for me. "I hate this world of non refundable deals myself."
