Ride Info

Tour Start

The bicycle tour starts at 8:00 Sunday, September 7, 2025 on Washington Street in front of the Waco Convention Center. Riders will be staged in groups according to the distance they plan to ride.

Safety

• Helmets are REQUIRED any time you are on your bike. We love you and we love your sweet heads!
• Ride Numbers –You will love them this year! Bright and colorful, total souvenirs! You are required to wear yours while riding the course. This helps our traffic control, our aid stations, and our SAG drivers recognize you as a participant of our event.
• We have law enforcement officers located at major intersections, but you are required to follow all traffic rules as if you were riding on your own. Roads are open to traffic. We strongly encourage flashing lights – both front and back – to help keep all our riders safe.
• For your safety and the safety of others around you, no headphones allowed.

Please read our Rider Safety info.

Rest Stops/Aid Stations

The Waco Wild West has a tradition of providing great rest stops.

No calorie deficits allowed on this ride!!! Stations are located approximately every 10 miles on the 26-, 42-, 52- and 63-mile courses. The family friendly short loop will have one station that can be visited every time you make a loop.

Several organizations are working hard to serve the following items. Please be sure and thank all our volunteers!

• Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches
• Fruit – Bananas and Oranges
• Pickles and Pickle Juice
• Potato Chips
• Cookies
• Superieur Hydration
• Water
• Candy (Of Course!!!)
• Portojons are also located at all aid stations
• We also have basic needs: first aid, sunscreen, bug spray, spray deodorant (yes, to be considerate to your fellow riders), even tampons. Just ask the volunteers for these items.

We have a “Best Rest Stop” contest so after the ride, be sure to vote for your favorite rest stop on the survey that we send out after the ride.

Sag Support – 888-280-9997

You should be prepared to fix your own flats (carry a spare tube or tire repair kit). The SAG support team will help you if they see you on the routes or they get a call to come to you. We are covering over 200 miles of roadway so it might take a little while to get to you.

Each SAG support will have a “SAG #” displayed on the side of the vehicle.

This is the number to call if you need any assistance. Mechanical needs or a ride home to the candy, these volunteers can pick you up and have minor repair items (tubes, pumps) to get you back on the road. This is printed on your race number that you are required to wear so you have no excuse to say you don’t know it☺

Program your cell phones for the SAG support number. 888-280-9997. We will have plenty of SAG support vehicles on the 4 ride courses to assist you however we can but have this number handy which will contact you to the WWW100 Command Center. The radio operator will direct the nearest SAG vehicle to your aid.

Hydration

The biggest challenge for cyclists is maintaining hydration on long rides, particularly if it is hot. Know your limits and ride the distance you are capable of and have trained for. Carry plenty of water, even if you plan to stop at each rest stop.

Parking

The early bird gets the worm.. and the best parking space! There is plenty of parking available downtown, and it just may be the only bargain you will ever find in cycling; it’s FREE!
