Take a break! Breakpoints are positioned every 8-15 miles on Day 2. Relax, hydrate, have a snack, use the restroom facilities, make bike repairs – bike stores are there, visit the medical tent, apply sunscreen and enjoy the volunteers and corporate partners at the various, themed breakpoints.
When entering a breakpoint, do not stop and dismount at the entrance and/or exit. Be cautious of merging cyclists.
If you are on the route at 6 p.m., you must SAG to the Finish Line in Fort Worth.
Support and Gear (SAG) vehicles provide transportation to riders who need a lift to the next breakpoint. SAGs do not stop to make bike repairs, but they will bring riders to the next breakpoint. SAGs only move a rider forward along the route.
To signal a SAG vehicle driver, follow these steps:
- Move SAFELY off the road and well out of the path of other riders.
- Dismount and stand near your bike.
- Remove your helmet and wave it at the SAG vehicle.
From a moving vehicle, it is difficult to distinguish a friendly wave from a call for assistance. Use the SAG signal when you need a lift. Be aware that some vehicles on the route are not equipped to carry riders. Also, SAG vehicles may be full at peak hours. Please have patience; another SAG vehicle will drive up soon.
