Tour of the Vineyards
presented by

RIDER INSTRUCTIONS

The start/finish location is Peach Bowl Park (take exit 42 off I-70 and go south less than a mile to 5th and Elberta). Thanks to the Town of Palisade, FREE SHOWERS WILL BE AVAILABLE at the park (you bring towels, soap, etc). The “Festival in the Park” (Riverbend Park) is now only 5 blocks from the start/finish.

The aid station is Carlson Vineyards. Plum Creek Winery supplied the artwork for the t-shirt and jersey. Please thank them for their contribution to this event!!!

Plan on arriving early as all riders are expected to start their tour NO LATER than 8 am-course will close at 11:30 am, and the event will close at 12 noon-refreshments will end at this time as we encourage riders to attend the Festival in the Park, which begins at 10:30 am. Riders DO NOT need to CHECK-IN if you have your packet, t-shirt, bib number and map.

Please ride single file in traffic and no more than 2 abreast as this is THE LAW. You can be issued a ticket if you don’t comply, as it is unsafe for riders as well as automobiles that will coexist with you. Obey all traffic signs and volunteer marshals, as this is not a closed course to traffic. IMPORTANT-all riders are required to have an ID on their person during the ride.

Riders pass by acres of vineyards and orchards but the ride is designed for viewing not stopping and/or wine tasting along the route-please plan on attending the “Festival in the Park” immediately after the ride to enjoy tasting from the states winery’s (separate ticket for entrance into this event). PLEASE DON’T DRINK AND RIDE!

SHUTTLE BUS/PARKING-Parking is available on street and in close proximity to Peach Bowl Park. Additional Parking is available approximately .5 mile away at Palisade High School (2697 G Rd-head south on Elberta, then west on G Rd to the high school). There is a small charge to park at the school, which is used as a fundraiser. A shuttle bus will be available from 10 am to 6 pm for Festival in the Park attendees from Peach Bowl Park and Palisade High School. Please be aware of NO PARKING signs in the area. BIKE PARKING is scheduled to be available at the "Festival in the Park" (Riverbend Park) for a small fee.

RIDE PHOTO’S www.moabactionshots.com will be taking pictures of riders along the route. Please have your number pinned to the front of your shirt in order to be identified. Please visit their site after the event to view your pictures.

ALL RIDERS MUST WEAR A HELMET-NO HELMET, NO RIDE, NO EXCUSES!!!!
