The four-day race that will draw over 800 cyclists includes four stages of racing for all categories. Racing gets underway on Friday with the 5.7-mile Warren Store individual time trial. The rolling course is held under “cannibal” rules, which limits riders to equipment that is allowed in mass-start races (aerobars and time trial bikes are out, pointy helmets and disc wheels are in), according to race officials.
