The route from Boise to Sun Valley is one of the most scenic in the country, and you can take in every mile of it from your bike saddle. Given the roads we travel on, we need to keep everyone safe and the local residents happy. It is our goal to continue the event long into the future, and to do that, we need your help in following the rules.

Uncut Start

• Riders start at Barclay Bay at 5:45am.
• Neutral rollout along Lucky Peak Dam Rd, and a half mile up Hwy 21.
• Official start is just after the flashing traffic sign, approximately mile 11.75 on Hwy 21.
• For the first 3.9 miles (the top of the first climb), riders may use the right traffic lane in addition to the shoulder.
• From the top of this first climb to the finish line, riders should be as far to the right as possible, riding single file, unless actively passing another rider.

Uncut Rider Rules

• Road bikes only, no aero-bars (mass start).
• Riders should be as far to the right as possible, riding single file, unless actively passing another rider.
• Drafting, pacelining, and passing are allowed.
• Riding double-file is not allowed.
• Failure to follow these rules will result in disqualification, and may result in the Sawtooth not being able to renew it's permit.

Uncut Aid Stations

The Sawtooth will provide four aid stations along the way, allowing riders without any additional support to complete the route.

In order to minimize time at aid stations and to ensure that everyone gets exactly what they want, Uncut Riders will be provided with two baskets to put whatever they want into. The first basket will be at Aid Stations 1 and 3, while the second basket will be at Aid Stations 2 and 4. We would recommend: 2 bottles with your favorite drink along with your favorite riding foods. If you leave bottles in the basket after aid stations 1 and 2, we'll fill them for you with water.

• Aid Station 1 at Transition #3, Mores Creek Summit, 42 miles from the start.
• Aid Station 2 at Transition #5, Grandjean, 41 miles from the last aid station.
• Aid Station 3 at Transition #7, Stanley, 38 miles from the last aid station.
• Aid Station 4 at Transition #8, Frenchman Creek, 25 miles from the last aid station.

Uncut Support Crew Rules

While additional support is not necessary, we realize that people often want their own support. There are a few extra rules for Uncut support:

• Support vehicles must depart Barclay Bay by 5:40am at the latest, so that they are ahead of the cyclists until Idaho City.
• The first Transition station that crews can offer support is Transition #2, Idaho City.
• Support crews can only offer support at Transition stations, not between them.
