6. Be courteous about your space; please leave room for other campers

2. Bring your own toiletries and towels

Sag wagons are large vans with bike racks on the top. Riders (and their bikes) can catch sag wagons up hills, to the next aid station or to the Finish Line from any road along the course. Sag wagons do not have bike path access. Riders should pull off the road and flag down the approaching sag van. Riders with trailers or tandem bikes may have a longer wait because of space limitations. Those with children who need a car seat will be required to wait for our special car seat sag van. Please wait in the sag line at Minturn and Breckenridge lunch stops. Bottom of Vail Pass has a high volume of need for sag wagons. Please be patient. Sags will not take riders directly to Copper from Vail – they can only take riders from Bottom of Vail Pass to the Black Lakes aid station at the top of Vail Pass. From that location, riders can either ride back via the bike path or wait for another sag at Black Lakes to take them to Copper.

3. Be courteous with your shower length so your fellow campers can get a shower too!
