Lunch is included in your registration. It is grilled to order by A&B Burgers onsite! Please specify at registration if you would like the vegetarian option so that we can pre-order the right amount. One beer ticket (for riders 21+) is also included in your registration! Soft drinks will also be available--electrolyte drink and water for free.
If ordering one of our specialty jerseys, please order by Sept. 2 to guarantee that your jersey will arrive to you before the start date of the event.
Jersey orders received after that date will be placed after the event and your jersey will be mailed to you approximately 2 weeks after the order is placed. Please visit ecga.org/tourdegreenbelt for jersey size specifications.
Please note that the road route will only be LIGHTLY marked. You are encouraged to use the turn-by-turn navigation through Ride with GPS or download the GPX routes from https://ecga.org/tourdegreenbelt when they are ready in September. This is a tour-style ride, so there are no disqualifications for riding your own route and your own distance. The distance you choose during registration simply helps us plan for future years based on interest in each route. This year, we will not be offering a Century option during the event, however, the GPX route will still be available upon request for you ride at your leisure! Due to high demand, we have a second Gravel Grinder option, though!
