Welcome Cyclists!
Thank you for registering and joining us for the 3rd Annual Mardi Gras Pizza Fondo.

The Mardi Gras Pizza Fondo is a one-day, recreational and non-timed, road cycling event that
takes you from downtown Sanford to New Smyrna Beach and back, on a flat and mostly
low-traffic course where you’ll pedal among different landscapes.

As you pedal from Sanford to New Smyrna Beach, you'll ride under tree canopies, along lakes,
rivers, the Intracoastal Waterway and the Atlantic Ocean, and among large, untouched acreage
parcels.The views continue to evolve as you move from segment to segment.

At the end of the ride, you’ll enjoy complimentary pizza from Sanford Pizza Company,
overlooking the Sanford Marina on Lake Monroe in downtown Sanford.

Thank you for choosing the Mardi Gras Pizza Fondo!

Enjoy the ride!

Event Packet Home Delivery
The Mardi Gras Pizza Fondo is excited to announce that participants that register by the end of
the Regular registration period will receive their event packet by mail, which means that they
can skip the check-in lines the morning of the event and go directly to the staging area, ready to
ride!

Event Packet Home Delivery is a new benefit that many of the events in the CAAM Tour Series
now include with event registration.

Event Packets include the following items:

 ● Event t-shirt
 ● Number bib
 ● Safety pins
 ● Wristband
 ● Printed route map and cue sheet
 ● Postcard bundle with upcoming CAAM Tour Series events
 ● Miscellaneous items

By receiving the Event Packet by mail, participants can get ready for the event before leaving
home, secure their number bibs to their jerseys and sleep in a little longer knowing that they
don’t have to stand in line with hundreds of other cyclists checking in. It’s a much more relaxed
setting for everyone!

We encourage everyone to register early at other upcoming CAAM Tour Series events to take
advantage of the new Event Packet Home Delivery feature!

NOTE: Event packets typically arrive the week of the event.

Packet Pick-Up
Early Registrations
You can skip the check-in lines and go directly to the staging area, ready to ride, if you
received your event packet by mail.

Late Registrations
If you registered late and didn’t receive your event packet by mail, you will need to check-in the
morning of the event to pick up your event packet

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Below is some important information to be aware of prior to the event.

Neutral Start
The first 2 miles, on E. Seminole Blvd, are considered to be a “Neutral Start” zone with a warm
up pace due to multiple traffic circles and raised crosswalks. Keeping the pace down will keep
the pelotons safer.

Pace can pick-up once the pelotons pass through the third traffic circle.

Lunch Time
Lunch/Pizza will be served from 10:30 am to 3:00 pm

Mobile Bike Shops
Mobile Bike Shop vehicles will be on the course to provide mechanical assistance on the
course. Please bring cash or credit card to pay for parts and/or services rendered.

Restrooms at the US Post Office rest stop
Portable toilets will not be provided at the first and last rest stop at the US Post Office.
However, there are restrooms available at the Osteen TrailHead at the base of the trail bridge.
Take the trail toward the bridge and stay on the lower part to the north side to the trailhead
parking lot. The restrooms are in the green building.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH

Art Festival in New Smyrna Beach
The Art Fiesta is being held in New Smyrna Beach the weekend of the Mardi Gras Pizza Fondo
(26-27 Feb 2022) at Old Fort Park, at the intersection of N. Riverside Drive and the North
Causeway

Restrooms at Flagler Avenue Boardwalk
There are public restrooms at the Flagler Avenue Boardwalk on the south side of the parking lot.
We recommend bringing your bike inside the restroom instead of leaving it outside the building.

Beach Traffic in New Smyrna Beach
The traffic on Flagler Avenue, heading toward the Flagler Avenue Boardwalk, from the bottom of
the North Causeway bridge to the ocean, can be heavy when the weather is nice.

If the traffic is heavy, an alternate route to the beach is to turn right on S. Peninsula Ave (1st
traffic signal after the bridge), then turn left onto Columbus Ave. Take Columbus Ave to Buenos
Aires St, then turn left to Flagler Ave.

CAUTION: Traffic will be high in the area. Be defensive watching cars in the area.

TRAIL OPTIONS for the 27 and 54 mile routes
The 27 and 54 mile routes have the option of riding on the trail or on the road. The trail portion
is part of the St Johns River-to-Sea Loop. You can view the entire trail system here

TRAIL ENTRANCE
The entrance to the trail is diagonally across from the start at the traffic light.

If you are a trail rider, please line up at the back of the staging area in order to have easier
access to the trail after the road riders have departed.

Be careful on the first section of the trail, where pedestrians may be walking.

 Mardi Gras Pizza Fondo Ride Guide
 27

TRAIL OVERVIEW
The trail option allows you to take the trail for the majority of the route with the exception of the
final 4 miles of the 27 and 54 mile routes.The final four miles will reconnect with the road portion
of the course at the base of the bridge over the St. Johns River on SR-415 and Celery Avenue.

The trail begins immediately at the starting point of the event, where the trail will travel parallel
to the road routes until the trail takes you over the Lake Monroe bridge. At that point, the trail
will then go through Gemini Springs and then run parallel to Dirksen Dr/DeBary Ave before
getting onto the East Central Regional Rail Trail.

The trail will continue to the bridge over SR-415. At the base of the bridge, on the other side of
SR-415, will be RS-1 (rest stop 1) at the US Post Office. The 27-mile route will exit the trail at
that point.

27-mile route | Half-Metric Century
Upon exiting the trail, the 27-mile route will turn right toward the post office and will continue on
the road section until reaching SR-415, where the route will go back onto the trail on the east
side of SR-415 (parallel to SR-415), go under the bridge and then continue to Celery Ave, where
the final 4 miles will be on the road with the other routes.

54-mile route | Half Century
The 54-mile route will continue on the trail to Vergie’s Feed Station, which is the turn-around
location for the route. On the return, the trail will return to the base of the Osteen bridge and
exit at the post office. The route will then follow the same route at the 27-mile route above to
the end of the course.

Exiting the trail onto Celery Avenue
The trail portion of the route will end at the intersection of SR-415 and Celery Avenue. Exit the
trail/sidewalk onto Celery and turn right.

ROUTE MARKING & COLOR SYSTEM

Route Color System
 ● The Mardi Gras Pizza Fondo is part of the CAAM Tour Series and follows the CAAM
 Tour Series Route Color System.
 ● This is a universal color system used with the majority of events in the CAAM Tour
 Series.
 ● Colors associated with each route also correspond with the colors used to mark each
 route and the colors of the numbers on the number bibs.
 ○ As an example, for the 100-mile century route, the century course will be marked
 with YELLOW arrows and the numbers on the number bibs for the participants
 that registered for the Century route will have YELLOW numbers.
 ● The first digit of the numbers will also correspond with the first digit of the route distance.
 ○ As an example, the Century participants will have numbers that begin with "1",
 the same as the first digit of the 100-mile course..

ROUTE MARKING
 ● The Mardi Gras Pizza Fondo will be marked with spray-painted arrows
 ● Very few, if any, above-ground signs will be on the course

Signs and Spray Painted Arrows

Above-Ground Signs

 ● Above-ground signs will not be used consistently on the route.
 ● With above-ground signs, there is always a chance that someone will remove a sign
 which would/could completely alter the direction of our event participants and take them
 off-course.
 ● In some cases, there MAY be an above-ground sign but strictly in locations that may
 require more visual attention, such as an easy-to-miss turn.

Spray-Painted Arrows

 ● Spray-painted arrows are permanently painted on the road.
 ● Arrows will be a color assigned to each route.

 Mardi Gras Pizza Fondo Ride Guide
 30

Arrow Placement, Location and Direction

Route Arrow Description

 ● The route will be marked with 12" spray-painted arrows.
 ● In some cases, Route Arrow adhesive stickers may be used in lieu of the spray-painted
 arrows.
 ● The colors of the Route Arrows used will be the same as the spray-painted arrows.

Route Arrow Examples

 ●

Route Marking Locations

 ● Each turn will have three sets of spray-painted arrows at the approximate distances
 below prior to the turn
 ○ 25, 250 & 500 feet before the turn
 ● In some cases, the actual marking distances may differ due to specific conditions or
 limitations.

 Mardi Gras Pizza Fondo Ride Guide
 31

Route Arrow Placement

 ● The arrows are typically painted in the bike lane or shoulder in order to avoid losing
 vibrancy due to cars driving over the arrows and dirt wearing the colors down.

Route Arrow Direction

 ● The arrows will be pointed in a 45 degree angle in the direction of the turn.
 ● The arrows will be "stacked" from the longest distance at the top, to the shorter
 distances below.
 ● As an example, the yellow arrow would be above the orange arrow, which would be
 above the green arrow, etc.

Straight Arrows

 ● In some cases, arrows pointing straight ahead will be used, typically at a major
 intersection or at SOME stop signs (not every stop sign).

Confirmation Arrows

 ● There will be a "Confirmation" arrow immediately after the turn to indicate that you made
 the correct turn. If you do not see a confirmation arrow shortly after making a turn, stop
 and check your route map.

 ● On long stretches with no turns, there will be an occasional “Confirmation Arrow” to let
 you know that you are still on the correct route. Typically the “Confirmation Arrows” will
 be every 5 miles.

 ● Bring tools and spare tubes in order to be able to quickly fix your bike issue and continue

issues. Please note that the mobile mechanical SAG vehicles are unable to transport cyclists
back to the start/finish venue.

Alternate Pick-Up Arrangements
While the event will have mobile bike shops patrolling the course to assist with light mechanical
issues that may be experienced, the mobile bike shop vehicles are unable to transport cyclists
from the course back to the start venue.

In some instances, the bikes may not be able to be repaired to a point where it can be ridden
back to the start area and transportation will be required back to the start.

We strongly encourage our participants to have a contact person that can pick them up in the
event that they are unable to complete the course.

Bearded Bike Doc

The Bearded Bike Doc brings professional
bicycle maintenance, detailing, upgrades,
and repairs directly to your location in
Central Florida.
Bryce, the Bearded Bike Doc, Anderson began his mobile bike service in the spring of 2017 with
a mission to share his love for bikes and skill with a wrench with as many fellow cyclists as
possible.

His wife would certainly confirm that if the Doc isn't riding, fixing, cleaning or improving a bike he
is likely still peeking at one or maybe trimming his beard.

The Bearded Bike Doc will bring his passion for all things bicycle, along with a borderline
obsessive attention to detail and quality, to each and every job he is hired to tackle. From his
roadside flat tire service to complete bike builds and overhauls, this top notch mechanic is
available outside of many bike shop's normal business hours, comes to your location and can
also be found at many local cycling events.

If you like to be involved in the nitty gritty of your favorite rig, Doc will help you get a peek under
the hood and certainly doesn't mind a friendly conversation (or a shot of espresso) while his
careful work is accomplished.

REFUND POLICY
The Mardi Gras Pizza Fondo is a rain or shine event with no refunds or transfers.

This is a Rain or Shine event. No refunds or transfers.
The safety of our participants and volunteers is our most important concern and if any of the
threatening weather conditions are present the day of the event (tornado warning, tornado
watch, thunderstorm, heavy rain or a hurricane decides to visit), the event may be delayed or
canceled.

When weather conditions or other physical conditions present a danger to participants,
such conditions fall under the label “acts of mother nature,” it will not result in refunding
of any event entry fees or future event credits, since funds were already spent in
preparation for your event day..

Optional Participant Insurance
Optional participant insurance is available during event registration. Keep in mind that the
insurance policy has qualifying perils and does not provide coverage in the case of rain, not
feeling good or other non-qualifying perils.
