Routes & Services
Route
The Annual Cycling Circuit departs at 8:15, 9, & 930AM from Herbert Von King Park in BedStuy, BK.
Riders will have seven hours to complete the course. If you have not completed the ride within that time, support vehicles will pick you and your bike up and escort you to the Finale Festival.
The routes are along greenways and on-street. There are no road closures, so participants must be confident riding with traffic.
Starting Line/Finale Festival
The circuit will begin and end in the same location- Herbert Von King Park in BedStuy, BK.
Hydration Stations
Hydration stations are highlighted along the route, noted on your cue sheets, and announced in your GPS directions. The stations offer restrooms, water, light refreshments and simple bike mechanics. They are located every 8-12 miles along the route and are only open to ride participants.
Recycling
The Annual Cycling Circuit is all about wellness. In every effort to stay green, recycling stations will be placed at the ride start, hydration stations and the Wellness Wrap Up.
SAG (Support and Gear)
The Annual Cycling Circuit is supported by ride marshals who travel with riders as well as two SAG vehicles who will be out on the course. If you are unable to continue for any reason or fall behind the allotted completion time, SAG will transport you and your bike to the Wellness Wrap Up. If you require SAG support, ask a ride marshal to contact them on your behalf.
Medical
Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) will be stationed along the route and at the Wellness Wrap Up to attend to medical needs.
Bike Repair
Bike mechanics will be stationed at the start line, rest stops and the Wellness Wrap Up. Labor is free, but bring a spare tube in case of a flat. Bike mechanics will be addressing minor mechanical concerns and have the right to refuse work on certain repairs. Please have your bike tuned and inspected prior to the event date to avoid such need.
Need Info?
Volunteers at the hydration stations, start line and Wellness Wrap Up are your go-to's for questions and concerns. If they are unable to assist, please contact the headquarters number provided to you at registration.
