Registration in 2010 is by lottery.
The registration link site will be found on this Web site once it opens.
Lottery Registration opens at 6 a.m. (mountain time) February 15 and will run through February or until our cap of 1,000 entries is reached.
Note, this is the number of people wanting in the ride - then the 350 successful riders come out of that.
The lottery will be done by March 8 with the results posted as soon as possible.
Email notices will be sent to everyone entering to let them know if they were or were not successful.
If you are successful, you have until the end of March to complete your registration by mailing in your entry fee WITH THE SIGNED WAIVER.
The waiver will be downloaded off the registration Web site and also available on this Web site. Registration is not complete without the signed waiver.
Anyone who has not paid their fees by the end of March will be canceled.
Volunteers Please contact the Tour director ahead of registration at: atravsky@wyoming.com
You will be provided special registration instructions prior to the February 15 registration opening.
Groups: You have the option to register as a group of up to 6 people. Groups larger than this need to break into smaller groups.
If you are in a group you are NOT ALLOWED TO REGISTER MORE THAN ONCE.
Please note the following for groups:
Have one person "in charge" of the group who will be the first person to register for the group.
If successful in the lottery, send all entries in one envelope and, preferably, with one check.
All members of the group will have to mail in signed waivers. These must be sent with the check.
Any entrant found to be entering more than once will not get in the ride.
It is "all in" or "all out" if you choose to enter as a group.
Volunteers
The Tour de Wyoming is a 100% volunteer effort.
There are no paid staff on the tour - everyone helping make it possible is a volunteer.
Volunteers also make the Tour happen on the road.
Because volunteers are so valuable to us, there is one way to ensure your entry in the ride:
Bring a volunteer (who is available the entire ride).
Volunteers must contact the Tour Director via e-mail at: atravsky@wyoming.com about wanting to be a volunteer.
There are limited slots available and they are open on a first-come basis.
Volunteer Positions:
Sag Support: Drive the route, helping riders if needed and refreshing supplies at the rest stop. The vehicle for this task needs to carry at least a couple people and their bikes. A big RV or trailer set-up DOES NOT WORK for this position due to the need to pull over off the highway frequently.
Rest Stop Support: Provide goodies (food and water) at a rest stop out on the route. The best vehicle for this is any type that has room to haul food. RVs and camping trailers are fine since our rest stop sites usually are good sized.
Sign Picker-Upper: Pick up the signage once the last riders have passed. This is a great chore for a late riser who has their own vehicle.
Water supply: Drive one of our two water support vehicles to provide water at the rest stops. This position requires either a pick-up truck that can hold a water tank, or a vehicle that can pull a trailer with a water tank.
What you get as a volunteer:
Free breakfast and dinner meal plans.
Free T-shirt.
Reimburse gas costs while on the route.
All the rest stop food you want.
Registration slot for one rider.
Appreciation, appreciation, appreciation! |  |

Note: at this time we are looking only for full-time volunteers. We do not have slots for people hoping to ride some days and volunteer other days. We'll go that route only if we have volunteer slots left unfilled as we get close to the starting date of the event.
Medical Support: If you have medical background and can help us out with this, we'd have you carry few first aid supplies on your bike. We provide first aid only and transport to medical aid. Riding medics enter as regular riders with the lottery and pay full entry fee.

What To Expect
The Tour de Wyoming is a fully supported tour.
We carry your luggage each day, provide rest stops with food and drink, and provide camping at schools (indoor and outdoor options) each evening.
SAG support is available to pick you up on the route, if needed.
During the ride, we have medics and mechanics on the road (they are riding bikes, too). We have bike mechanics available at the end of each day as well as massage therapists. Purchase meal plans for breakfasts and dinners, all provided as fundraisers by local civic groups.
We are sticklers for safety. All riders MUST keep to the right "as far as practical" when on the Tour de Wyoming. This means pacelines are not allowed to impede traffic. Our roads are open to motor vehicles and we must SHARE THE ROAD.
If you prefer a bit of pampering for the week, contact the Shuttleguy for their services.
