WHEN: Arrive no later than 7:45 AM, Saturday October 29th, 2016. You will need time to:

  • Check in – Even if you’ve pre-registered, you will need to check in at the registration table to receive your rider wristband and make sure we have a signed wavier.
  • Register – If you didn’t pre-register online or at the fundraiser, you might plan on arriving at 7:30 to register.
  • Flying Monkeys will be on hand to air up tires and perform bicycle safety checks.
  • Tie everything down. We’re expecting 20 MPH winds so make sure your hat is tied down. If you missed the “Grommet Station” at the fundraiser, flying monkeys can put small holes in your hat and give you a string to tie it down. Flying monkeys have additional supplies to help tie decorations down. Don’t underestimate the foretasted 20 MPH winds.
  • You’ll have time to enjoy meeting other witches, looking at the bikes, taking pictures and meeting other members of the coven.
  • Rest rooms are available.
