Road Support & First Aid

Thanks to the many bike shop sponsors we have working mechanical support! The Green Mountain Bike Patrol  also rides with cyclists to help with any EMS issues or small mechanical issues.

Non-medical issues: call the rider hotline on the cue sheet you’ll receive on ride day.

  • Bicycle Express out of Northfield, VT provides our lead mechanics with 2 vehicles on the entire course all 115 miles, so riders from all 3 rides may use their help if needed.
  • The Bike Hub from Norwich, VT provides mechanics to ride course support starting in Bethel all the way to the finish.
  • Paradise Sports, our neighbors in Windsor, VT provide mechanics to ride with the 25 mile riders from start to finish and also work the last rest stop on the Brownsville Hartland Rd!
  • Onion River Sports will be on site at the 1st rest stop in Montpelier at the Dairy Crème to help 115 mile riders with mechanical issues there. 

In case of an emergency! Contact local emergency response officials at 911. Use your cue sheet to specify your location. EMTs, bike mechanics, and other on-road support will be available. Please contact the rider hotline, using the number on your cue sheet, to request assistance or report an incident. We will have a mechanic on the course for each ride as well. However, please be responsible for yourself and bring with you everything you need to complete the ride.
