SO WHAT’S A VIRTUAL RIDE ANYWAY?! — A virtual ride you complete on your own. Riding together… Apart! It can be done out in the fresh air or on your indoor trainer, etc. This is an ongoing, continuous multi-week event. Cyclists will submit their total weekly mileage, elevation climbed, and number of rides to Bikes & Beers Virtual Pro Platform. Tons of award prizes for age/gender groups based on weekly riding statistics! At the conclusion of the event in the beginning of June, all riders will be entered to win raffle prizes including a new Bianchi Road Bike!
We value how important exercise is in a time like this to continue your fitness goals, stay healthy, and just clear your mind for a few hours. Remember to ride alone or with others you live with and maintain a responsible distance from one another for safe social distancing practices.
In light of the current events surrounding our country, breweries have been forced to temporarily close tasting rooms - AND THEY NEED OUR HELP! Join our community of cyclists all around the country for the largest Virtual Cycling Event ever! We have partnered with over 200 breweries all around the country (and adding more daily!) to make this happen.
Three Main Benefits For You!
- Solitary, socially distanced exercise inside and outside on your bike!
- Promote your local breweries and increase tap room sales once re-opened
- Support COVID-19 Relief as well as MassBike & local breweries!
We will pack up your Ride Appreciation Box and ship it out to you so that you can start rocking your brand-new swag out on the open road! *More details will be sent out in the registration emails once you are signed up!
