Location of aid stations on bike

Athlete's guide says approx. every 12-15 mi.  Can someone provide info on more exact locations?

  • Sure, I posted this in another thread yesterday.

     

    Here are the locations i saw aid stations in 07, 09, and 10.



    Milage is estimates based on memory so it might not be exact but it's close.



    Out:

    Whalen - Mile 12 - this is actually intended for the back only, but both times I have raced they were there already at 8:30 am and a few people were handing out just water bottles.



    Loop 1:

    Marsh View Road - Mile 17ish (good one as you are going slow here)

    Mt Horeb High School on 92 - Mile 28

    Cross Plains on Bourbon St - Mile 39 (fast and flat section - 2 sets of rough rail road tracks after this one)

    Verona High School on Main - Mile 53 (sucks IMO as you will be flying at 25+mph)



    Loop 2:

    Marsh - Mile 60

    Mt Horeb - Mile 71

    Cross Plains - Mile 82

    Verona - Mile 95



    Back:

    Whelen Road around mile 100 - just before the last climb of the ride.





    As far as losing bottles, here is what I can remember as spots to watch for...

    - Bridge on John Nolan

    - Rail Road tracks on McCoy

    - Some pot holes and rough sections on Whalen

    - A couple bumps and rough sections on Sugar River - there are two almost speed bumps here that will launch a bottle but you can see them coming

    - 92 has some rough pavement aronud mile 25ish

    - Pot Holes/Crack on 8th after the traffic circle

    - Garfoot and Braun has one nice big bump that I alwasy forget about

    - Bourbon and P both have rough train tracks

    - Stage Coach just sucks period, I just ride hard though this section so my teeth don't fall out
