Note: Some sections of the route have very narrow shoulders (2 feet and less). We Share the Road with motorists so if riding narrow roads is not your thing, this route is likely not one for you.
Registration
Registration for the 2012 Tour de Wyoming will be by lottery again.
Registration will open February 15 and close February 29 or until the cap of 1,000 entries is met.
The 350 riders will be selected via random lottery from the entries submitted.
Note that we have not met the 1,000 cap for registration numbers in the two years that we've held the lottery.
There is no benefit to registering earlier than any of the other applicants so you can get registered in a leisurely manner.
Gone are the days before the lottery when you'd have to rush to get registered in the nine minutes it took for the ride to fill.
Now you can relax but don't procrastinate too long or you could miss out.
When the registration period opens on February 15, there will be a registration site link on this Web site.
We have our own registration system and, thanks to the assistance of the Laramie business IDES, Inc there is no added fee.
Information you will need when you register:
- Emergency contact information
- Where you plan to stay July 14 - our indoor and outdoor camper numbers MUST be counted in advance. Note above the options for that evening.
- When we are in Alpine, will you be staying with the Tour at the 4H Camp? (If you opt for a motel, remember Alpine is 7 miles from the 4H Camp)
- Overnight choice in all other locations (indoor camping, outdoor camping, motels, Shuttleguy)
- Preorder jerseys (the design will be posted prior to registration)
- Designate meal plans: breakfast only, dinner only, all meals, no meals.
- T-shirt size and preference for unisex or women's cut.
Groups: Riders can register individually or with a group of up to 6 members.
With groups, there is no advantage over registering as an individual. All members either win the lottery - or all do not.
As in the past, the one way to ensure a slot on the Tour is to have a volunteer sign up to assist all week.
Each volunteer can designate one rider guarantee slot. Volunteer slots, as listed below, will open up February 1.
Volunteer slots are also limited and will be filled on a first come basis.
The lottery selection will be done by computerized random selection on March 1 and "winners" will be notified by March 5, 2012.
For those who "win the lottery" you have until March 31 to make payment via snail mail. To keep costs down, there is no payment via credit or debit card. All payment is by check made out to Cycle Wyoming.
Failure to pay by the end of March will result in forfeiture of the rider slot (they are not transferable).
If you need more time to pay, please make individual arrangements with the Tour Director.
Wait List: If you don't win the lottery a wait list will be compiled on a first come basis but open only to those who registered for the lottery.
To get on the wait list email (no phone calls please) your request to: atravsky@wyoming.com
