FAQs

When is the ride?

The last Sunday of September.


How many people do the ride?

4,000!


Do I have to wear a helmet?

With so many riders, it would be impossible to enforce a helmet rule, however, we strongly encourage it! We want everyone to stay safe and take all the needed precautions for the ride, including a maintained bicycle.


Can I pick up my friends/family member's ride packet or rider wristband?

Sorry, as a general rule, each individual person must pick up their own packet and rider wristband.
