Ticketing & Registration for the 2023 ride is now AT THE DOOR.
For more than 30 years, we’ve strived to keep our two-day festival competitive and affordable, with discounts for local riders who volunteer, families/adults with kids and non-riding spouses who want to take advantage of our meals and get a T-shirt, too!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
For riders 17 and under: $40 Family-friendly Price for Minors (children aged 6–17 years with a full-paid adult). Riders under 18 years old must be accompanied by an adult. If not parent/guardian, it is advisable to have informed consent for medical treatment. All paid minor riders receive same benefits as listed for full-price adults. Sorry, there is no “both spouses are riding” discount for this festival.
Spouses who are non-riders but wish to share in the Festival meals (and get a T-shirt) can register for $40. NOTE: This is not required. Many spouses come to town and sightsee or hike on their own and have no interest in attending the Bike Festival. That’s fine and we don’t require them to pay.
Children 5 and Under are Free (No T-shirt; but yes on meals and snacks). All children — whether riding on their own bike or in a bike seat or tow-behind trailer — must wear bicycle helmets.
No. Sorry. A majority of the per rider costs (insurance, printing, T-shirt, etc.) are applicable to either or both days. Plus, the myriad charitable groups who share in the proceeds from our Festival appreciate every dollar we can donate to them.
With an event as large as this, managing registration tickets is a complex affair. We found that Eventbrite is a good partner to provide the robust services needed to get the details correct. We set our Fall Foliage ticket prices to cover our expenses as a non-profit ride (food, T-shirts, Event Guides, insurance, volunteer group donations, etc.). Adding the required Eventbrite fee on top of our costs is the fairest and most transparent method to show where the money goes. Thanks for your understanding and support!
