Good question Nick. No, there are no mandatory stops. Just requires laps around Chesapeake Bay twice totaling more than 1000 miles under 24 hours. Hope this helps.

Kinda the idea behind it, and thanks for your interest as this theme ride series develops around these geographically unique 'rides around bodies of water'. Thinking these are neat cert rides riders can enjoy over a weekend... right there in their own back yard.
