20 Mile - Mid Course
40 Mile - Long Course
The Long distance race includes a new experience this year. The course is 2 laps on a 20 mile loop that features an alternate section of road. Riders will take this 4-mile section of different road as part of the "Joker lap". Each rider has to ride the regular and "Joker lap" to finish the race. But you can choose to ride the "Joker" on your first or second lap, which creates a strategic choice relative to the other riders. Stick with the pack or split off to get away from the others. The alternative is a different road type and view for a bit of variety, along with changing the scope of the race.
