2024 Firecracker BIG EMAIL re: Pre-Ride Pickup, Parking and Party!
The 4 Ps of Firecracker Week are here! Read below for info on
Preparation
Pre-Ride Pickup
Parking on July 4
Party after the Ride
All of this information and more is available at the event website, too, along with links to the routes.
PREPARATION
The weather forecast is for a hotday, remember to hydrate well in the days leading up to the ride and the day of the ride itself! We will have Skratch hydration mix and water at the rest stops (plus snacks of course!) .
The ride starts at 8:00 AM and it will be crowded! Give yourself plenty of time to park and get yourself ready.
We will have a few mechanics available at the start and at the rest stops for those last minute tweaks but remember to check your bike out before the ride and charge whatever devices need charging.
PRE-RIDE PICKUP
Get yourself to Conte’s Bike Shop (1242 Kildaire Farm Road, Cary) to pick up your Rider Wrist Band and merchandise (if applicable) during one of these windows:
Saturday, June 29 from 11am - 5pm
Sunday, June 30 from 1pm - 4pm
Monday, July 1 from Noon - 6pm
Tuesday, July 2 from Noon - 6pm
Wednesday, July 3 from Noon - 6pm
For you stragglers, you can pick up your wrist band and merch the morning of the ride from 7- 8 AM in the Registration area – though we hope you can take care of this in the many days leading up to the event, it will be crowded!
REMINDER – one free beer only for those who register prior to July 4th!
