What happens if it rains?

For weather updates on the morning of the event, please check the website and social media pages. If the board determines that conditions are unsafe for riding, the ride would be canceled. However, lunch and all the scheduled activities will continue as planned on the covered patio. We invite all participants to join us to pick up your swag and for the commemorative activiites.

Can I use an E-Bike?

E-Bikes are welcome! However, riders are required to choose a group that matches a controlled cruising speed, not their bike's max capability. Riders must limit assist level, stay in eco or mid modes, except to climb hills. Ride with the group, not the motor.
