FAQs:

Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event? Yes, the minimum age is 18 to participate in this event. Registered riders must present a valid picture ID the morning of the event. 

What speed does the group ride? We require that all riders be physically fit enough to maintain a minimum average speed of 16-18 mph throughout the duration of the ride, no matter the wind or weather conditions. Our SAG support is rolling and makes scheduled stops approximately every 25-35 miles.  Those who can't maintain the minimum speed and who fall behind will be asked to forgo support for the remainder of the day or to jump inside the support vehicle to catch up with the rest of the group. 

What are my transport/parking options getting to the event? Parking is complimentary for all registered riders at 2080 Main Street Ft Myers Beach, FL 33931. The parking lot is gated and secured, but parking will be at your own risk. Transportation is not provided to the start on the morning of November 4th. Most local hotels have shuttle options who with notice can transport your bike and gear to the start. Most local cab companies can also offer this same service for a nominal fee. 

What can/can't I bring to the event? Due to limited space, each rider is allowed 1 bag. We also have limited space for travel bike cases, but please contact the organizers to confirm. 

Where can I contact the organizer with any questions? Contact Kevin Bupp or Ron Favali @ [email protected] or [email protected] 

Is my registration/ticket transferrable? Yes, registration is transferable but all transfers must be approved by organizer and must be made before the deadline date of September 30th.  

Can I update my registration information? Yes Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? No, but be sure to have valid ID present at check-in. 

What is the refund policy? Sorry, there are no refunds and no deferments, but you can transfer your ticket to another person prior to the deadline of September 30th. 

The name on the registration/ticket doesn't match the attendee. Is that okay? No, the name of the registered rider must match the ID of the rider.
