Redbud 2025 King & Queen of the Mountain
Redbud Classic 50-Mile Fondo participants will be eligible to be crowned the King or Queen of the Mountain. During the 50-Mile Fondo, a 2.8-mile segment will be separately timed and provide a unique challenge for participants to tackle.
The segment, which is an uphill climb, begins just South of Memorial Road on Triple X Road and concludes just before Britton Road. The segment will be timed using the same bib/chip you are given at packet pick-up. There is no need to track this yourself on STRAVA and turn it.
We look forward seeing all of you who accept the Redbud King & Queen of the Mountain challenge.

King & Queen of the Mountain Rules:
- A custom trophy will be awarded to the male and female with the lowest overall time taken to complete the 2.8-mile segment.
- Those who wish to compete must be registered for the 2025 Redbud 50-Mile Fondo on April 5th, 2025.
- The timed segment must be completed during the Redbud 50-Mile Fondo on April 5th, 2025.
- No electric bikes allowed.
- Participants must be 18 years or older.
Cycling Etiquette
Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the importance of safety, adherence to local traffic laws, and proper cycling etiquette. Police officers and course marshals will be stationed at key intersections to assist with traffic control and provide cyclists with the right of way where applicable. However, many rural intersections will not have traffic support. It is your responsibility to proceed cautiously and never assume you have the right of way. Here are some key safety reminders:
- Stop Signs & Yielding: Oklahoma law allows cyclists to treat stop signs as yield signs when it is safe to do so. This means you may proceed without stopping only if the intersection is clear. However, some cyclists may stop while others continue moving, so be aware of your surroundings and ride predictably to avoid confusion or collisions.
- Ride on the Right: Stay to the right side of the road to maintain a predictable flow of traffic and reduce the risk of accidents. • Riding Two Abreast: You may ride two abreast where it is safe, but when vehicles approach, it’s courteous and often required by law to ride single file to allow them to pass safely.
- Visibility & Signaling: Clearly signal turns and lane changes to communicate your intentions to both motorists and fellow cyclists.
- Passing Etiquette: Keep to the right and pass on the left. When overtaking another rider, announce your presence by calling out “On your left” to alert them.
- Be Predictable: Maintain a steady pace and avoid sudden movements so others can anticipate your actions.
- Hazards & Alerts: Use verbal and hand signals to warn fellow riders about hazards such as potholes, debris, or sudden stops. Calling out “Stopping,” “Glass,” “Hole,” or pointing to obstacles can help prevent accidents.
- Emergency Procedures: Familiarize yourself with the event’s emergency protocols and note the locations of Course Marshals in case you need assistance.
By following these guidelines, you contribute to a safer and more enjoyable ride for everyone. Thank you for your cooperation—ride safe, have fun, and enjoy the Redbud Classic!
