The race start and finish in Colonnade Blvd at the Hilton., The race route travels roughly 517 miles through north central and northeast Alabama, northwest corner of Georgia (over the mountain to Ellijay, Georgia, back to Piedmont, Alabama, to the top of Mount Cheaha) and then back to Birmingham. Climbing elevation: roughly 30,000 feet.

This is not a joy ride…. Cyclists and their crews will be racing day and night with minimum sleep in an effort to complete the 517 mile route within the 40 hour time limit… Each cyclist will be followed by a “crew” or team made up of diverse, responsible and competitive individuals whose job it is  to insure the safety of the cyclist as well as pushing them beyond their perceived limits. Drafting is not allowed and cyclists will be racing independent of a pack or peleton.

Sponsors needed to insure our success...

All of us love the underdog, the dark horse that comes from behind to win in the final stretch...It is natural for us to live vicariously through the exploits of others.  The risk taken is safer, more available and simply more timely...Others, take the risk...the risk to fail or to finish.  Winning is earned

My crew/ team and I will take the risk...We just want your support. Here's how you can be on the virutal crew.

    ** All donations are tax deductible
    ** If for some reason the ride does not occur, all donations will be offered back to the sponsors to the greatest extent possible or turned over to the charity we are supporting.
    ** Team name "Magic Water" and "360cycling" will appear on the cycling kits.
    ** Sponsors are responsible for vehicle signage. We will provide signage to the top-three levels but they will be rather generic in appearance.
    ** In-kind sponsorships shall have logo placements on the kits for values of $2500 and up. These logos shall be placed as effectively as possible as space permits. All other value add shall be based on retail value of the sponsorship on the values above. For example; if $5000 worth of wheels are donated (which will be auctioned off at the end of the race for the charity), the logo will be placed on the kits as good as we can but all other perks will be based on the Titanium level of sponsorship.

Every once in awhile we get the opportunity to inspire, encourage and support someone in their endeavors. Sometimes we get to affect entire communities, cities, regions or even nations with our attempt at something great.

I believe that we are ALL catalyst for change. The difference is how much change we inspire and for what agenda
