  Be sure to take breaks along the way at our strategically placed rest stops to refuel, refresh, and chow down on bagels, fruit, cookies and energy drinks.
  After the ride, swap bike tales with fellow cyclists while enjoying a gourmet pasta dinner in our cow-lossal banquet hall.
  
  
  Safety:
  
  The safety of Udder Century participants is of primary importance. Routes are on public roads & must be shared with motor vehicles. We require all riders wear helmets, ride no more than two abreast, and obey all traffic laws. We believe bicyclists deserve to share the road, showing courtesy to motorists and other riders.
  
  All riders aged fifteen and under must be accompanied and supervised by an adult throughout the ride.
  
  Radio equipped Sag vehicles will be patrolling all routes. While Sags will stop to help those in need, priority is given to those with justifiable emergencies – riders with irreparable breakdowns, illness, or injury. A flat tire is not considered an emergency. All riders should carry a spare tube, pump, and water.
  
  Only riders wearing wristbands will be permitted entry into rest stop and the banquet hall. All riders must be off the road by 5:00 PM , so please, don’t stop to feed the cows!
