Road Rules / Stop Signs
I’m gonna hammer on this message again – and you really need to understand it’s for your own good that you listen and pay attention. Marji Gesick is a self-supported event and road rules apply at all times.
Volunteers will not be at every intersection. No one is out there stopping traffic for you. You must obey all traffic laws, stop signs, and have your head on a swivel.
Over the last few years, we’ve noticed a lot of trails that intersect with roads don’t have stop signs warning you of a road ahead. Last year, and again this year, we’ll be adding close to thirty temporary stop signs across the event route. When you see a stop sign – STOP. If you don’t you could hit by a car, or something else.
Lake Enchantment Road
Again this year we are asking support crews and anyone else with the event to stay away from Lake Enchantment Road. If you have a rider to support or if you wanna spectate – go to Marquette Mountain. There will be an aid station there, a ton of support, and parking. We need to remember that while it might feel like the whole world is obsessed with Marji, that’s not the case. There are a lot of people out there who don’t even know about the event. They would like to go about their lives without bumping into a bunch of us 😂. Support and spectate at Marquette Mountain and then move to Jackson Park.
Suicide Bowl Road (CTY RD PC)
This is another area that has popped onto our radar as a concern – mostly because people are going back there and parking in a manner that makes it impassable to emergency vehicles.
This year, we’re gonna add signs out there that prohibit parking on the left side of the road. This area has to remain open to the public, and emergency vehicles. When we asked you to stop going down Lake Enchantment Road a few years back – you guys responded and respected that request. I need you to do that again.
We want support crews out there, and we want you to be able to support riders from Suicide Bowl Road, and we can’t make the road impassable. We’re counting on your guys to observe the signs and only park on the right side of the road. If it fills up, park somewhere else.
