If you are having COVID-19 symptoms or have been in contact with any COVID-19 positive people in the last 14 days, please do not attend the event. 

Masks are required for all participants while at the start/finish line, and in West Lincoln Park. You may remove your mask to drink and eat. You may remove your mask while riding as long as you can maintain 6 feet social distancing from other riders. 

In an effort to be more eco-friendly, we will not be printing maps this year. Please visit our 'Event Info' page to find links to the rides, or download the free STRAVA app and join our 'Biking the Boat and Beyond' Club. You can find this link on our 'Event Info' page as well.

We highly encourage you to ride your bike to the event if it is safe for you to do so because parking is limited. There are a few spots reserved for adaptive riders on both sides of West Lincoln park. There will also be approximately 20 spots at B&K Distributing. Otherwise, please park anywhere in town and ride over. There is good parking at the Transit Center just west on US-40 and you can ride the Core Trail over. 
*Do not park at the Library*

A Virtual Fundraiser is a great option for anyone who is not a Steamboat local, not interested in biking, or does not feel comfortable coming to an in-person event. This option is free of charge (you will not receive a swag bag), but it enables you to create your own personal fundraising page, and join/create a fundraising team. For any more questions, please call our office at 970-870-1950. 

If you need to ride an adaptive bike to assist with your disability, you are welcome to do so. If you do not need one for a disability, we ask that you do not. Prizes for our 50-mile ride winners will only be for those that ride self-powered bikes.
