General Cedar Blitz Race Details: The General Cedar Blitz race challenges participants to navigate through diverse terrain and weather conditions, making it an exhilarating test of endurance and skill. With category selection based on your age as of December 31st, 2026, the event ensures a competitive yet fair environment for all ages. Race organizers guarantee that the event will proceed regardless of the elements—be it rain, snow, sleet, or sunshine. However, in cases of severe weather such as thunderstorms, lightning, blizzards, or hail, the race may be postponed until conditions improve. Participants are advised to seek shelter immediately if adverse weather is observed before, during, or after the event. It's important to note that cancellation due to inclement weather does not allow for rescheduling. This open course race allows vehicular traffic, emphasizing adherence to Michigan Vehicle Code and cycling road rules. Riders must stop at all stop signs, yield to right-of-way vehicles, avoid crossing center lines, and maintain no more than two abreast. Violations will result in disqualification from the event. To ensure safety, a minimum of 10 racers per category is required; otherwise, categories may be combined by race directors' discretion. Mandatory gear includes ANSI/Snell approved bicycle helmets without earbuds, ensuring clear communication and awareness on the course. Bicycles must also be in good working condition to meet racing standards. Timing limits vary based on distance: 18-mile racers have a four-hour limit; 36- and 50-milers face similar constraints as determined by race marshals and directors. The grueling 128-mile route, however, demands an average pace of 13 mph with a cut-off time at 4 pm on July 11th. This unsupported course lacks marshals or markings; racers must navigate independently. For those attempting the 128 miles, GPS computers with downloaded courses are mandatory for accurate tracking and safety. Additionally, riders must carry lights to ensure visibility during potential low-light conditions. As this is an open road race, participants must strictly adhere to all traffic laws. In terms of support, while there's no course assistance, aid stations are available at key points. An 80-mile mark station offers bag drop services; racers can collect their belongings after the awards ceremony without further aid provisions along the route. General Cedar Blitz promises a memorable experience with its challenging courses and natural beauty, making it an event not to be missed for serious cyclists seeking both competition and adventure.
