As to the rides, they take place every day and can have as few as two or three riders in the heat of the summer, to 20 or 30 riders during the season, when many snowbirds migrate south.

Others come from all over the U.S., but mainly from the northeastern and midwestern states.

Several riders have raced in the past ,and many completed various long-distance trips.
