No size limits on the RVs.  ​We have a shower house with 2 showers for men and 2 showers for women.  Hot water runs out quickly.  We also have toilets and sinks. Fresh well water is available for drinking and filling water bottles. We will have 2 port-o-lets at the bath-house location.

Maps & Course Info

We cannot emphasize this enough: Riding the Dirty Pecan routes without a GPS and with “old-school” cue sheets is not recommended and will be NO BUENO. The cue sheets from the maps are NOT 100% accurate, and more importantly, THERE ARE NO STREET SIGNS on a majority of the dirt roads. You can view and export all of the Dirty Pecan routes at the links below.

Water stops and convenience stores are marked on the map for each route. There are no guarantees water will be available or that stores will be open.

DOWNLOAD YOUR ROUTE TO YOUR DEVICE BEFORE YOU ARRIVE. 

THERE IS NO CELL SERVICE AT RIDE START...AND I AM NOT JOKING !!!

150/200 riders - You crazies that are doing the 150/200 are welcome to arrive extra early for your ride start.  No one will be at the facility to guide you to parking.  Bless you, you beasts.   

  • Please DOWNLOAD and TEST the maps on your Garmin (or other GPS capable device) to ride the course. THERE IS NO CELL SERVICE AT RIDE START SO DOWNLOAD THE MAPS BEFORE YOU GET IN THE CAR.  It is not recommended to ride this course without a GPS, but if you don't have a GPS device, make sure you ride with someone who does, and will not drop you. Otherwise, you can print cue sheets from the online map, but not all the roads along the route are signed, nor is the cue sheet 100% accurate. Use the maps at your own risk.

  • The roads along the majority of the course are sparsely populated. There will be many miles of riding with no civilization or people in sight. You are on your own so be prepared for anything, such as being dropped, flat tires, broken chain, walking your bike for miles, no cell phone signal, etc. You must be self-sufficient, and bring with you all the necessary water, nutrition and equipment to complete the ride on your own. There is no sag on this ride; no one is going to come and bail you out.

  • ALL ROADS ON THE ROUTE ARE OPEN TO VEHICULAR TRAFFIC. RESPECT ALL RULES OF THE ROAD AND OBEY ALL TRAFFIC LAWS! Stay to the right of the road on blind corners. Don't hold up vehicular traffic unnecessarily. Be courteous to other riders and road users.

  •   Do not feed, pet or taunt any animals along the route. 

  • You’ll ride through grand southern plantations, oak canopies, farmland and pecan orchards on red clay and dirt. While a good majority of the course is shaded by stunningly beautiful oak tree canopies, there are long sections that will be blasted with full sun. Your body will appreciate you applying sunscreen on all exposed skin.

  • There is no public water stop; however there is a convenience store in Boston, GA and the 150 milers also have a convenience store around mile 107, but there are NO guarantees those stores will be open. Have a backup plan if you are unable to restock on food and water, especially if you're doing the 150 OR 200 mile route.

  • Do NOT throw any of your trash away on the course.

  • If you get to Boston, GA and you are sick of riding dirt roads and want to go home, you can take a paved road (Boston-Monticello Rd) back towards Monticello. It's a bit over 22 miles from Boston, GA back to the start. This “bail-out” route is not marked on any of the route maps, so you are solely responsible on how to navigate back to the start.

  • Your cyclocross tire choice is entirely up to you. 32s are the recommended minimum width, but the course can be done on 28s if the rider is experienced and knows how to properly handle sandy sections. If you're in doubt, go with a wider tire.

CUT-OFF TIMES (self-imposed for those riding 100-200 miles)

  • On March 1, 2025, sunrise is 7:00a and sunset is 6:30p in the Monticello area.

  • Florida and Georgia road rules require you have front and rear working lights if cycling before sunrise or after sunset.

For those riding 150-200 miles:

  • While there is no “official” earlier start time for those riding the longer course distances, it is HIGHLY recommended you get rolling by 7a, unless you’re making it an overnight adventure, or plan to ride with lights after sunset.

  • From a physical and mental standpoint, if you get to Boston and you are wore out, it's recommended you take the route the 80 milers do from Boston to Monticello.

200 Milers:

  • At around 120 miles, you'll cross US 221. This is your point of decision. There's not an easy way to shorten the course after this point.

150 Milers:

  • If you start at 7a, and you're not in Boston by noon (mile 67ish), you should re-route yourself to the 100 mile course, which will give you about 115 miles total for the ride.

100 Milers:

  • With an 8am start, you should be in Boston (mile 56ish) no later than 1p. If you're not in Boston by 1p, you should re-route yourself to the 80 mile course.
