Registration

This is a rain or shine event! Registration opens at 7:00 am. You may register the day of the event and pay with cash, check, or card for $100.

You'll receive your socks at this time. Food and beer tickets will be given to you when you check back in from your ride; this helps us to track everyone returning.

Start Time Recommendations

Food will be served until 3:00 pm. We'd like to ask riders to plan the start of their rides with that in mind. Our suggested start times are as follows:

30 mile - Anytime
60 mile - Leave by 9:00 am
80 & 100 mile - Leave by 8:00 am. 100-milers, please note, you will have 30 more miles to go when you reach the Alburgh Rest Stop.

Pre-ride Bike Mechanic

A mechanic will be available from 7:00 am to 10:00 am for a pre-ride check-up and adjustments. We're grateful they're joining us again this year to provide this service!

Riding the Ferry

The 60, 80, and 100-mile routes will use the ferry to continue their ride to the New York side of the lake. At registration, we'll mark your hand to show our volunteer at the ferry station to pay for your transportation across the lake.

The ferry leaves Vermont at 5-after the hour, 25-after the hour, and 45-after the hour. Please be aware of the flow of traffic and move to the side to let cars pass. Departure times can vary due to wind, traffic, or maintenance.

Grand Isle/North Hero Bridge

All riders, all loops will encounter this bridge. The bridge may open on the hour ONLY if prearranged by a mariner.

Medical Emergencies

Please call 911 for medical emergencies.

Biker Assistance

While being able to change your own flat will prevent you from having to wait for assistance, it is not necessary. However, be sure to stop at your local shop and pick up 1-2 inner tubes that are the proper size for your bike. Additionally, if you carry CO2 or a frame pump, don’t forget it!

If you do find you need assistance, we'll provide you with a number to call at registration and arrange a pickup for you.
