Pelotons

I want to switch my peloton group. What do I do?

Riders can change pelotons on ride day. There is no need to notify the ride director beforehand. More info on pelotons

Transportation

How will my gear bag get to the Harpoon Brewery in Windsor?

Please leave your bag at the marked bag drop area on ride day morning. It will be waiting for you in Windsor when you arrive.

How will I get myself and bike from Windsor to Boston at the end of the ride?

Transportation by coach for gear and rider is included in the ride. Bikes will be carefully packed in bike trucks and transported back to Boston. They will be waiting for you when you arrive on the coach in Boston at the end of the day. Riders who do not choose to take the included transportation are responsible for their own bikes.

Jersey and bib pick up [information about jerseys]

How do the jerseys run?

Pactimo Ascent Race Cut jerseys have been found to run small. Please review size chart here and take proper measurements before registering and placing your order.

Can I pick up my packet before ride day?

Pre-ride jersey and bib pick up will be at the Brewery at 306 Northern Ave in Boston on Friday, June 18 from 5:30 to 7:30 pm.

I'm a different size than I thought I would be. Can I change my jersey size?

No. We order a jersey just for you based on the size you chose on the registration form. We do not buy in bulk, and only B2B riders get a B2B jersey. We do not have extra sizes to switch jerseys.

Support

What can I expect at the water stops?

At the rest stops we will provide water, energy drink, Clif Bars, peanuts, cookies, pickles, and fruit.

Mechanical?

Professional bike mechanics from Cycleloft and Mavic will be on course and stationed at start. Riders must be bike savvy and prepared to fix their own flats and basic bike problems.

Parking
There is ample parking available at the parking garage right across the street from the Brewery in South Boston. Parking for the day will be $15 for the day. Please bring cash as they do not accept credit cards.

I live out of town, can I ship my bike to you before the ride and pick it up on ride day?
