6 important details about Day 2:
1. Where
is my bike?
When
you arrive to Chesapeake College on Saturday afternoon, everyone will store their bikes in the gym at
the college. Early Sunday morning, all bikes will be carefully
transported to the ride start location at Broadneck Park. When you arrive
to Broadneck Park, you will claim your bike!
2. What
do I do with my luggage?
- Staying
at Chesapeake College? By
7:45 AM Sunday morning, you should load your luggage directly on one of our
Penske moving trucks. Otherwise, take your luggage with you on the busses
and load it on the trucks when you arrive to Broadneck Park.
- Staying

3. What
should I carry with me during the Ride?
Your
luggage will be transported on moving trucks while you ride. Please carry
your i.d. with you and the following items: water bottle, cue sheet
holder, cell phone, and cash.
4. Pit
Stop Check In
On
Sunday, there are three pit stops, placed about every 10 miles throughout the
route. These stops are indicated on your cue sheet and include opening
times. When you arrive at each pit stop, there will be crew there to
check you in. You MUST make sure you check in at
each pit stop, otherwise, we will assume you are lost. Please
help us avoid unnecessarily going through the efforts to find you if that is
not needed.
Each pit stop has bathrooms,
water, Gatorade plus a variety of snacks & fruit to keep you fueled
throughout the Ride. The
third pit stop on Sunday is a staging area at the American Visionary Arts
Museum. All riders will gather here until around 1:00 PM; at which point,
as a group we will ride the final miles across the city to the finish line at
Moveable Feast.
5. Support and Gear Vehicles (SAG)
There are
10 official Support and Gear vehicles for the Ride for the Feast weekend.
Additionally, there will be a medical team from Johns Hopkins Lifeline. On each
cue sheet, you'll have two phone numbers: one to the Lifeline medical van and
the other to me. Call 911 immediately for any emergency during the Ride
weekend. If you need a SAG or bike tech, you'll call me!
(1)
Riders must use official SAGs only. If
you need to stop early or skip ahead a few pits, you must do so in an official,
marked SAG vehicle. If you wish to leave with a friend or family member, they
can pick you up at the pit stop to which the SAG takes you.
(2)
Only official SAGs allows on cyclist route. This week, we'll distribute driving
directions and pit stop locations for volunteers and supporters to use.
We ask that you help us reinforce these policies, to keep only official SAGs
and emergency vehicles on the route. Trust us, less cars on the route
will make the ride easier for you and easier for you to access help if needed.
6. Sunday
Closing Ceremony Details

arrive to the finish line at Moveable Feast, you will hand-off your bike to a
volunteer. Your bikes will be stored during the closing ceremony

on the third floor of our building. Lunch will be served with a brief
program. There will be transportation available to take you to the Johns
