π¨ Important info! π¨
This is long but should have just about everything you need to know for saturday!
First, THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT! THERE WILL BE NO RIDER TICKETS AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE THE DAY OF. IF YOU DONT HAVE ONE OF THE 2000 ONLINE TICKETS YOU CANNOT ATTEND THIS YEAR. Dont message and ask is to please make an exception and get you tickets, its not happening.
Parking-
There will be signs and traffic police to direct you towards parking areas. The majority of parking will be along barse tract and nichols run roads.
Check in-
Please have your ticket ready! Printed off works the best and keeps the line moving quick, but at the very least have a screen shot ready! You can check in and get your wristbands any time between 9am and 1pm. You must have a wrist band to ride the trail! The trail closes at 5pm. All riders must be back to the firehall by 5pm!!! There will only be one line at registration this year because there is no walk ins accepted!
** We are now sold out so if you dont have a ticket you'll be turned away. **
Also check in doesnt open until 9am! If you are in line at 8am then you're going to be waiting at least an hour!
Trail-
The trail is about 26 miles and is mostly wooded trail. It can be a little challenging in some spots, but no need for a winch. We ask that drivers be experienced on their machines. Drivers must be at least 12 and able to reach the handle bars and foot pegs at the same time. This is not the place for your 12 year old to ride their new machine for the first time, please make sure they have experience and a machine capable of handling a wooded trail with some steep inclines/declines.
Safety checks-
Everyone must pass through the safety check before entering the trail. Everyone must have a helmet, eye protection (goggles, sunglasses, eyeglasses, helmet visor, etc. A windshield doesnt count) a wristband and working brakes on their machine.
Food-
Online Chicken bbq wristbands and anyone wanting to purchase any remaining chicken bbq tickets will need to see the Town of Olean fd at their tent!
Town of Olean will also have burgers, hotdogs etc for purchase.
Knapp creek will have our kitchen set up again on the trail. We will have hotdogs, chips, candy, pop and water for sale!
Trail etiquette-
A lot of our trail is only usable because we have permission from the landowners to use it for the day. At 5pm the trail closes and the land is posted. You cannot come ride this trail on any other weekend!
We also ask that you respect the landowners and clean up after yourself! If you bring the garbage in, take it back out with you or find a garbage can! (We will be doing the trash raffle again for a couple $100 prizes!) If my toddlers can figure out how to put their garbage in a trash can im sure you can too!
STAY ON THE TRAIL! Please limit stopping to at the checkpoints. There will be a few areas that have signs to stay off the property and to keep moving. This section of trail is VERY close to being lost which probably means the end of this dice run. Stay on the trail, stay out of any buildings you may pass, dont throw rocks at things that aren't yours and if you need to use the bathroom try to wait for a port a potty...or at least dont use someone's gate (Yes these are all things that happened last year and will result in losing landowner permission...also if any of those things were you, do us a favor and grow up or dont come back π)
Also respect your fellow riders. If youre going slow, pull over when its safe to do so and let others pass. And vice versa, if youre going fast dont be a jerk and ride peoples tails when theres no room for them to get over. Were hoping that with limiting it to 2000 this year the trail wont be quite as busy!
Again the trail closes at 5pm! It takes about 4 hours to get through with stopping at checkpoints so that is why check in closes at 1pm.
If you have any questions please message our page and ill get back to you asap! We have turned off commenting on our posts for now to deter scammers.
We are hard at work marking trail, getting the fire hall ready. We sleep very little this week and have an insane day saturday, please be kind and patient!
See you all this Saturday! ππ
