Support plan

The RV can move ahead to Lincoln. A follow vehicle remains with the traveling team, and the motorcycle stays available for contingencies. The goal, if weather and physical condition permit, is to complete Day 1 entirely under human power.

Required safety review

Before April 2027, local traffic and public-safety officials should review the exact streets, crossings, shoulders, construction conditions, support procedures, and permit requirements. Placer County’s Sheridan bikeway planning material provides useful context, but it is not approval of this route.
