Mid-Year Party Ride at Buccaneer State Park

Saturday June 13 7:30AM - 1:30PM
Location: 1150 S Beach Blvd, Waveland, MS 39576

Come for the ride, stay for the party! Embracing summer and the 250th birthday of the USA! Corn hole, giant Jenga, and more. Bring a chair. Have corn hole or a huge Connect 4? Please feel free to bring to the after ride party.

The ever favorite Blue Cliff College chair massages return for the event.

SAG and fully stocked rest stops with tasty treats and cold, wet towels await riders plus super clean port-a-potties thanks to Granny's Alliance.

For those coming from out of town, Buccaneer State Park has RV sites and tiny houses. For more information regarding the park and rates, please check their website https://www.mdwfp.com/parks-destinations/park/buccaneer-state-park

Your three route options are pinned at the bottom of the RWGPS event, here: https://ridewithgps.com/events/456025-gcbc-mid-year-party-ride-at-buccaneer-st

Online registration will remain open until 7am on ride day/approximately 30 minutes prior to the start time. It's important to note that same day registration will only be available in a paperless fashion with Race Roster. Once you show us your phone so we can see you've completed it, we'll hand you your route profile sticker, and you'll be ready to roll! We appreciate your understanding.

Police traffic control and road markings/signage will both be present but limited, so all participants should download routes to their computers, plan to play the route from their RWGPS app on their phone, or carry printed turn-by-turn directions with them. For instructions on how to download routes to your Garmin, Wahoo, or other computer, see the Ride With GPS Help page at https://support.ridewithgps.com/hc/en-us/articles/4419007646235-Export-File-Formats and your computer’s documentation.

The route profile stickers/providing navigational cues we are including for all participants regardless of when they register will also be very helpful to have. They are designed to be placed physically on your bike's frame, so you can look down and know when the next turn is coming without having to change your positioning on the bike.

One will be at the turn around on 604 (we are not crossing Hwy 607 this year), and the second will be at the infamous “THE END” sign. No doubt, plan on stopping to take a picture. And of course, we will have a tasty post ride meal from Kent & Sue's! See the routes below, the rest stops and local stores (if you need an extra stop) are all annotated.

We look forward to creating a memorable event with you all and seeing you there!

All rides are weather permitting, and at your own risk and liability.
