Your three route options are pinned at the bottom of the RWGPS event, here: https://ridewithgps.com/events/344065-mid-year-party-ride-at-buccaneer-state-p

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. You'll be directed here to the RWGPS event and then to the corresponding Race Roster link to sign up, sign the liability waiver, and pay via PayPal or Venmo. 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.

**While registering, please consider ordering event T-shirts for yourself and your entire family to support all GCBC events for the year!

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.

Staggered start times may be decided as we get closer to the start of the event, to let the longer distance riders get out in front and have more time on the course.

The MS Mustangs will be handling both of our tented, stocked rest stops. One will be at Stennis and the second will be at the 46 mile mark (a brand new Granny's Alliance port a potty will be present), near the infamous “THE END” sign. No doubt, plan on stopping to take a picture. Blue Cliff Massage School will be there offering free massages post ride. Huge thank you to the MS Mustangs and Blue Cliff for being some of our largest supporters!

Shout out to Bacchus On The Beach who's handling the catering. Registered participants will enjoy chicken alfredo pasta, salad and garlic bread post ride!! What a treat...
