Support & More

Upon arrival, we will have a check-in booth where cyclists will receive their Bike Cape Cod jersey and will be able to check in their gear. Cyclists will leave all luggage and extra gear in the luggage trailer. Cyclists can leave any extra belongings including clothing, sunscreen, own snacks, and essential items with the SAG (Support and Gear) vehicle and have access to the vehicle along the route and at lunch.

Bicycle mechanics will be present at both the starting line, to help with any last-minute details, and along the route. They will be equipped to provide help with flats and any small repairs that are needed. If a cyclist has something broken on their bike other than a small repair, we can sometimes find it at a local bike shop on the route. 

Please note: Cyclists are responsible for any additional costs to their bikes along the route.

Transportation

The majority of the traveling will be on the seats of the bicycles. The routes will be well-marked and easy to follow. All cyclists will have access to the route on their phones with the Ride With GPS cycling route app.

Bike shop details for bike shipping and rentals coming soon!

All meals will be strictly kosher and designed to provide cyclists with sufficient energy for the ride. A full breakfast will be served before the ride in the morning. Lunch will be nutritionally designed to keep you going throughout the ride. A hot dinner will be served every night.
