- Join the team to register for the High Bridge Ride. (We suggest you make a minimum donation of $50 and ask others to donate too.)
- Check in at the Third Street Brewing Company, 312 West Third Street, Farmville, VA, starting at 8 am on APRIL 21, 2018. Register at the Third Street Brewing Company if you did not register earlier. Our ride starts and ends here.
- At check-in, pick up your bib and swag bag and t-shirt if you raised at least $100 for Alzheimer's.
- Decide how many miles of the 31 mile long trail you want to ride. You can ride some or all of the trail. Just so you know, you can ride a full Metric Century if you ride the entire trail out and back. Families and others might want to ride a bit less of the trail. The choice is up to you. All riders must wear bicycle helmets. Volunteers will be checking to make sure you have your helmet on as you start your ride.
- The Third Street Brewing Company is about 5 miles from the High Bridge - so out and back will be about a 10 mile ride.
- We'll have trail crossing volunteers and trail spotters but we will not have traffic stops or traffic flagging.
- There are rest stops (including restrooms) along the trail and at the Third Street Brewing Company. We'll have water, gatorade or similar drink, and a small snack at our rest stops.
- The trail is hard-packed limestone finish and is not paved. The trail is good for mountain bikes with slicks, hybrid bikes, and even road bikes (but expect a rougher ride on a road bike), and suitable for all ages and families with children.
- We will have a rolling start beginning at 9 am. Our last start will leave the Third Street Brewing Company at 11 am. This is not a timed ride.
- Enjoy your ride!
- Return to the Third Street Brewing Company for our Recognition Ceremony at 1:00 pm. We'll be recognizing our fantastic sponsors and our Top Fundraisers.
- Remember to sign out at our registration table when you complete your ride.
- Enjoy the Third Street Brewing Company! We'll have a food truck where you can purchase a post-ride meal. The Third Street Brewing Company will have free music and wonderful libations for you to purchase and enjoy along with some fun games.
- You'll be right in the heart of downtown Farmville so take some time to explore the shops and restaurants too!
