Mystery events may be physical or mental.
This is a mostly self-supported event, especially related to hydration and personal needs.

- Restroom facilities are available at pre-race/finish, the start, McIntire City Park, and Lake Hendricks.
Participants will leave bikes at Lake Hendricks to complete the water event and remainder of the race. Race personnel will remain with the bikes until they are picked up or 11:50, whichever is earlier.
First, second and third place awards for men and women. This is a timed event. Participants must arrive for the water event at Lake Hendricks before 10:45 in order to continue the race.
