Details:
This special ride departs at 3pm. We’re riding together as a group, but on the beach, everyone can ride at his/her own pace; no one will get dropped, it’ll be great fun on big tires on the sand. There will be roads connecting the beaches so be ready for both pavement and sand.
It’ll be windier on the sand, so be sure to dress warmer than the weather forecast predicts numerically.
Schedule: We’ll be at the meeting spot by 2:30pm. Please arrive no later than 2:45pm so as to be ready to roll by 3pm.
We will be riding into the dark of night, be certain to bring lights that last 2 hours.
Parking: There is free parking in town.
Route: The route will be available for download at the start of the ride. We’ll have a computer and cables to share the route with anyone who wishes to have it.
Concerning email: for whatever reason, Gmail often puts our ride emails in your Spam folder. We don’t expect that we’ll need to share more information than this with you prior to meeting up. If we do need to reach you, we’ll send out an email or call if it’s exceptionally important. Questions? We’re at connect@rideheadquarters.com.
Estimated time: ~2 hours
Ride Notes: We discuss these with you prior to rollout. There will be beachy sand and paved roads to connect various sections. It’s all appropriate for 3.5” tires or bigger. We can’t speak to the exact quality of the sand for those of you who want to ride skinnier tires. It’s possible it’d work out for you, but it’s also possible you’d be walking/pushing your bike.
