GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT PLATINUM
Platinum cyclists are those in the 102 mile distance and starting in 2023 for the 63 mile distance with extensive experience in riding in a pack/peloton. Cyclists must meet specific criteria to earn platinum designation and must attend a special meeting. The meetings will take place on Thursday (11/16) at Noon and 6pm and Friday (11/17) at Noon and 6pm in the Exhibition Hall of the Tucson Convention Center at Packet Pick-up. This is where you will receive your special platinum wristband to gain access to the Platinum Corral at the front of the race.
