- Mass start at 8:30am from Jones Park at the corner of Janesville Ave and Park St/6th St on Fort Atkinson’s south side. Look for lots of bikers and the Lions Club and Tour de Fort sign
- Choose still another truly “beautiful”, good lookin’ T-shirt, long sleeve or short sleeve separate from the regular fee
- Breakfast treats before you start the ride
- Rest stops with refreshments, and lots of good biking food
- Great support - sag wagons courtesy of the Quiet Hut. Course communications courtesy of Tri-County Amateur Radio Club. Rest stops hosted by Blackhawk Chapter 409, Vietnam Veterans of America
- Detailed maps and very well-marked routes. You’d have to try really hard to make a wrong turn.
- One ticket to the Lions Club Chicken and Corn Feed. Boy, will all the corn you can eat taste good after you’ve been biking!
