The Basics

Basics: Overnights will be at the Chewacla State Park 124 Shell Toomer Parkway, Auburn, Alabama 36830. Tent camping is included in your registration fee. The park is minutes away from food, drink, hotels, and a freeway exit. The Auburn Links Golf Course and Surfside Water Park are within a five-minute drive. Chewacla State Park offers a swimming lake, hiking trails, a short mountain bike trail, RV sites and lakeside cabins. The RV sites and cabins must be reserved by you ahead of time and fill fast. You must make these arrangements since AMBA does not deal with the RV sites or cabins. To make reservations for RV site or cabins go to: http://www.alapark.com/chewacla Meals are on your own. We may try to provide breakfast foods and are researching a mid week cookout. Daily Rest Stops will be provided every day on route and be stocked with water, Gatorade, fruits, and snacks. Check your cue sheets for exact locations, We try to set them approximately twenty-miles apart. SAG (Support Aid Group) Service will be provided each day for a limited time. Because mileage changes each day, this time will also change depending on the distances ridden. Cue sheets will list when SAG Service starts and stops each day. The SAGs will have water, bike pumps, first aid kits, cell phones, and a place to get off your bike and relax. We will try to have mechanics on route to do simple repairs but because they will cover the entire route service may take a while. Bring your own pump, extra tubes and repair kits to change flats and a multi-tool to get you on the road faster. SAG service is provided for mechanical or emergency pickup along the biking route. It is not intended as a taxi service. You will not be SAG’ed if you venture off the official biking route. A Bike Mechanical Service will be stationed at Chewacla State Park and operate for a finite time each morning and evening. Discounted parts will be provided, you must pay for the parts and repairs. Weather in Auburn Alabama at the time of this ride should be hot and humid (80 to mid 90 degrees, 80% or more) but cold spells (60 degrees) occasionally happen. Rain is always a possibility so be prepared on and off the road. It is not unusual to have rain in the afternoon for a short period. When it does come it can be spotty, raining in one place and not another. On last year’s ride we had rain five of seven days but riders didn’t seem to mind it because the temperature outside was warm. This was an atypical year. Usually we don’t get this many days of rain.
