Ride Marshal/Sweep - 100 MileThe role of a Ride Marshal is to provide encouragement, guidance and assistance for riders and to assure that they have an enjoyable and safe experience. Please call for SAG assistance if you encounter any situations where you may require additional support. The FIRST Ride Marshal should START AT DREW and leave with the last of the 100-mile riders to effectively sweep those riders until they reach Harry Dunham Park (HD); which is approximately mile 24.6. The SECOND AND THIRD Ride Marshals will START AT Harry Dunham Park (HD) and ride the course out and back to HD; which is at approximately mile 83.9 of the course. In this way, none of the Ride Marshals are responsible for riding the whole course. When completing the ride please stay behind the slowest riders so that you have effectively swept the route upon completion.06:30 AM on Sat, June 10th04:00 PM on Sat, June 10thDrew University#1: Sign up »
