Rules

• Ride your bike, self-supported, under only your own power, along the entire route.
• No pre-arranged support, no outside assistance of any kind. This means you should be prepared take care of yourself and not burden any other person. This includes but is not limited to navigation, mechanical assistance, and medical support. No caching of food, water, or anything else. Any food, water, etc, acquired on route must be from public sources, ie stores, restaurants, spigots, etc.
• Prepare & behave in such a way as though you were riding the route entirely yourself.
• Don't break the law.
• Understand that you are on your own, 100% with no outside assistance at all. These events take place on open routes with other users including motor traffic, hunters, etc, and will lead you through very long stretches of open wilderness where food, water, and medical assistance can be very hard to come by.

Starting in Idyllwild, we will ride dirt roads to small towns and forgotten roadhouses, making our way to urban San Diego. We’ll visit the Pacific Ocean before heading east into the Cuyamaca mountains. Next we’ll descend Oriflamme Canyon and begin a geological odyssey through the Anza Borrego desert to the Salton Sea (below sea level). Finally we will journey through agricultural lands and service roads before returning to the San Jacinto mountains.

The Stagecoach 400 will be a great shakedown for Tour Divide racers. A GPS track will be made available.
