The Ramada Inn served as the final checkpoint for riders Friday afternoon. Competitors were assigned rooms for the night at either Ramada or at the Super 8 about a mile down the road.
The Cross Country Chase tests not only a rider’s speed, but also their endurance, navigation skills, familiarity with the local area and knowledge of motorcycle history.
Riders complete an average of 250 miles a day during the race, navigating the course on their own. No support crews are allowed, so riders must pack everything they might need to the race tools, parts, luggage on their motorcycles.
Each of the race’s five stages are timed, with competitors being rewarded for managing their time throughout the day and maintaining certain speeds. Competitors also complete quizzes each stage covering aspects of the route they just completed and American motorcycling history, with their test scores counting towards a rider’s final score.
