Since I have the worst comprehension skills of a 3rd grader, what does it mean by
If you cross the finish line by 2:59 on timer (11:59 am), you may complete an additional lap if desired.
Will that last lap be counted after the 3 hours are up? The race continues for yourself if you cross the stop start line at 2:59 if you want too?

Yes you can potentially be on course for 4+ hours

It's up to you if you want to continue at 2:59 or at any time. Definitely strategy involved in endurance racing. When the clock is at 2:45 that's a tough decision

Not sure I've seen anything indicating where the pit area is? Trying to decide if carrying a small cooler is feasible.

Pit area is at the start/finish at the top of the fire road climb circled in blue. We have to ride up to the start line but the gate closest to Canfield would be the spot to drive up and unload and drive back to Martys since you can’t leave your car along that road.

Just keep the logistics in mind with 125 riders and getting up to the start on time for setting your cooler.

I’m opting for a plastic bag with food and a few quart bottles of Gatorade that I can stuff in my camelback for the ride up the hill before the start.

Unfortunately I am going to have to bail at the last minute. Despite the weather, I was determined to do this anyway. Unfortunately, the upper respiratory thing I have hasn't resolved fully, and riding in the cold rain won't be doing my ailment any favors. Wishing you all a fun, safe ride.

Maybe I can get a deferment to next year's?

i can finish 2 down or go out again and get a 1 down and time. I went out again......just to not be 2 down.
