50 CC Quest & 100CCC Gold March 19 - 25, 2012

Departing Jacksonville

Gate Station
2520 3rd Street S
Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250
904-246-1380

• We will issue a number to each 50CC EW and 100CCC EWE rider prior to the ride. This number will be the order in which you will be leaving the staging area. If you are a 100CCC WEW rider, your order should be the same as in San Diego. However, since there are far fewer riders and you have a time stamp. This will be loosely controlled.   
  

• Note 100CCC WEW Riders. You must get a gas receipt at the start of the second leg at the same station in which you got your ending receipt for the first leg. This serves as your ending and starting time stamps.      

• We will start releasing riders at 5:45 EST (2:45 PST) in the Gate station parking lot. Riders will be released a couple a time. We do not want riders riding in a pack for safety reasons. Our goal is to get all riders out by 6:15 EST (3:15 PST) and release the witnesses by that time. If you arrive at the staging area after 6:30 EST (3:30 PST), you will not be counted as part of the ride.     

• Have your witness form filled out and your odometer reading recorded. The witness should simply have to fill in the time, their personal information, and sign the form.    

• When you are ready to go, advise one of the witnesses. They will validate your odometer reading and license plate number; and add the time and their personal information to the witness form.    

• Once your witness form is signed. Notify the on-site coordinator and he will direct you with regard to staging for release.     

• If you have not collected your sand and water: Go just two blocks east on 16th Avenue South to collect your sand and water at the beach access. You may want to go to the beach in pairs and take photos of each other.

• You're off to San Diego. Ride safe, don't push your limits, and most of all enjoy your ride. From the beach access, you will then return to 3rd Street North and make a left (south). You will travel south along 3rd Street North for about 2.4 miles (just past 37th Avenue - about 21 blocks) to J. Turner Butler Boulevard (Rt. 202). This will take you to I95 North and then on to I10 East. The 21 blocks or so down 3rd Street North (AIA) has several stop lights and could be busy at certain times of the day but should not be a problem on Saturday morning. J.T. Butler Boulevard (Rt. 202) not only is limited access, but it is rural, low traffic, high speed limit with traffic running at or above the posted speed limit.

• Congratulations on a great ride. If you are finishing the 50CC West to East or the 100CCC East to West to East, you definitely deserve to celebrate. If you are at the midpoint of the 100CCC West to East to West, be sure to get plenty of rest. Remember there is no incentive to leave before the first 50 hours is complete as you cannot use time from the first leg for the second leg.
