NOTE: The LRRH Committee wants you to have a great experience, if you choose to change your distance after you start your ride, please ensure that you are familiar with the route and know where your rest-stop opportunities will be. There have been instances where ladies haven’t factored this in to their distance change, and have missed their nutritional and water stops, and in some cases lunch.
