RIDE DAY | Ride 2 Boulevardia

Ride Day DETAILS

PARKING & ARRIVAL

Start/Finish is located south of Crown Center and the Boulevardia festival grounds - between 27th Terr and 29th St, and between McGee Trafficway and Gillham Rd.

Parking

Parking is available at the Ride 2 Boulevardia Start/Finish location. If the lot is full when you arrive, volunteers will be nearby to direct you to overflow parking. If you're planning to join us at the festival after the ride, the Ride 2 Boulevardia parking lot will remain open until midnight on Saturday. You may also park in any of the Crown Center or designated festival parking areas. If you will be utilizing those areas, please be courteous and safe with your bikes - this includes not riding your bike inside a parking garage, and ensuring your car-mounted bike rack doesn't pose a safety concern or impede traffic.

Arrival

The start times for the three routes will be staggered. Plan to arrive one hour ahead of the scheduled start to allow plenty of time to park, check-in, pump up your tires, fill up your water bottles, and take pre-ride photos.

The Hangover - Arrive by 8:00am; rollout at 9:00am

The Six-Pack - Arrive by 8:45am; rollout at 9:45am

The Pint - Arrive by 9:30am; rollout at 10:30am
