General information

TRAM is a fully supported event covering approximately 290 miles. Our staff and volunteers work diligently to make sure the event is fun for everyone. Every 10 to 15 miles, the Society provides rest stops with fruit, water, sport drinks and snacks. First aid personnel and bike mechanics are also available at each rest stop. In addition to maps you receive, the route is well marked with orange signs along roads and trails marking turns, intersections and general directions.

Monday through Friday, the route opens at 6:30 a.m. Riders may leave any time between 6:30 and 8 a.m. Please don't leave outside the time frame, as our rest stops are scheduled around the start time. If you start prior to 6:30 a.m., we can't guarantee you'll be supported by rest stops along the route. This becomes dangerous, especially since the weather can be unpredictably warm or stormy this time of year.

While we make every effort to ensure the safety of our riders, it's important to note that the road portions of the route are NOT closed to vehicular traffic. You must obey all traffic signs and laws while riding and share the road and trails with other bicycles and vehicles.

Route markings

Follow the orange arrows every pedal of the way. You’ll see our route signs at each turn and even on straightaways, so you know you didn’t make a wrong turn.

Rest stop information

Please ride fully into the rest stop area and dismount.

Make sure to move completely away from the rest stop entrance to allow other riders to enter safely.

When exiting, please keep to the right and move beyond the rest stop area before merging with faster riders.
