If you’ll be hanging out while a family member rides or if you just love helping out with events, we have a number of opportunities for you to volunteer! You can review the complete list and sign-up here.

There is no minimum age to participate in the event. Riders age 12 and younger may register for free as long as they are accompanied on their ride by a registered adult. While this is a family-friendly event, we will not be providing children’s activities so families should plan accordingly. Riders and their family or friends will need to provide ID in order to enjoy adult beverages at Central Waters Brewery.

Participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from the event. Parking is available at Central Waters Brewery. CAP Services will have volunteers available to pick up riders from along the bike routes in case of an emergency.

Riders must provide their own bike and helmet. Skates/skateboards and pets are not allowed at the event. Registered riders will receive water and snacks at comfort stations along the routes and a drink chip for Central Waters Brewery (good for one soda or beer). Participants may purchase additional refreshments, including food from Chef C’s Munchie Mobile, at their own expense.

The T-shirts are unisex adult sizing, which means women will generally need one size smaller than they would normally. Youth sizing is not available.

We know this ride is early in the season and many may not have bikers’ legs just yet! When you register, please select the route you think you will most likely ride on May 16. If you change your mind, you can contact Stacie Hazlett-Rothe at 920-858-8670 or srothe@capmail.org, or let one of our check-in volunteers know when you arrive at the event.

All routes begin and end at Central Waters Brewery.
