Jerseys!
   We are testing the interest in a custom jersey for DD2B participants. If you are interested, go to the Facebook page and cast your vote!

Support Guidelines:
- 3 groups of different speeds:
   A Group (20+ mph)
   B Group (17-19 mph
   C Group (14-16 mph)
- Rolling SAG dedicated to each group.
- If you switch groups during the ride, ensure your nutrition bag switches SAG vehicles as well
- Each SAG vehicle will carry extra water, gels, powders, tubes, pumps, gas cartridges, common bike tools
- SAG vehicles will not have a technical bike guru on board. Support staff will gladly hand you tools and smile at you. If you ask very nicely, you may get a hug, but that may be pushing it. Focus man!
- SAG vehicles will stop around miles 50, 100, 125, 150 and 175 miles and for emergencies. 

Mileage and Time Cut-Off Limits:
 In order to ensure everybody (riders, organizers, supporters) enjoy the day, we need to enforce cut-off times based on mileage and time. These cut-offs will be strictly enforced with no exceptions. Really, none!

Cut-off limits are as follows:
- 100 miles within 8 hours (1:30pm) - 12.5 mph average (excl stops)
- 150 miles within 12 hours (5:30pm) - 12.5 mph average  (excl stops)
- 175 miles within 14 hours (7:30pm) - 12.5 mph average  (excl stops)
- 200 miles within 16 hours (9:30pm) - 12.5 mph average  (excl stops)
  You WILL be picked up if you miss the cut-off
(Waiving pick-up will disqualify you from the event and support will be withdrawn.) 

At the Finish
- Roll in to tumultuous applause and extreme admiration
- Sign in at the finish line
- Pick up your completion packet (t-shirt and 200 mile vehicle decal)
- Kick back with something to eat and drink (provided by the studs from Beach Bike Shop)
- After a rest, a meal and some well-deserved bragging, you're on your own to move on with the rest of your life
- Each participant to arrange their own return trip home... why not make a weekend at the beach of it and have your family members meet you at the beach!
