As there are hundreds of bikes expected to participate, PGR needs to Pre-Stage in order to ride as a group. There is no priority of marshaling, the order is first come first serve. Police and Fire will escort 100% of the route, no stopping at traffic signals and upon arrival at Zem Zem, all participants must depart as there is very little parking area, there will not be a Flag Line.
Please watch the weather, dress accordingly & bring your 3 X 5 handheld American Flags.
