What if I can't finish?
No problem. If you can make to a near by rest stop you can have one of our volunteers call our SAG support to bring you back to the start finish. You can also call the SAG # on your cue sheets and they will schedule to pick you up. Please see our full SAG Policy for more details.
How far do the riders bike?
You can choose between 10 or 25 mile routes, the route that bests fits your ability
Are the roads open to traffic?
Yes. The Pedal for Your Cause takes place on roads open to traffic. While every effort has been made to select a route using less heavily trafficked roads, all riders should be aware of traffic and obstacles along the road and be in constant communication with their fellow riders. Rules of the Road do apply.
What type of support do the riders receive on the ride?
We are happy to provide SAG ("Support and Gear") service to all registered riders who experience mechanical or other problems, such as being lost or unable to complete the ride due to a physical problem. If you need assistance, please call one of the cell numbers provided on your cue sheet. Please remember to provide your name, the nature of the problem, your location and your cell phone number. In the event of an emergency, dial 911.
- Please be patient. While we try to handle calls in the order in which they are received, sometimes we must engage in triage. Riders with medical issues take precedence over riders with mechanical issues or riders who are lost. Depending on call volume, you may encounter a significant wait time.
- Please be courteous. If you called for SAG service but managed to resolve your problem before it arrives, please call us to cancel. Again, provide your name, location, and your cell phone number.
- Please use SAG service responsibly. If you are unable to complete the ride due to a mechanical or physical problem, the SAG vehicle will transport you and your bike back to Brookdale. Please do not call the SAG simply because you do not think you will finish the ride on time.
- Please carry some cash with you to cover the cost of parts. Our SAG vehicles are staffed by volunteers who may be able to assist with minor mechanical problems, such as flat tires. In order to keep our participant fees low, we ask that you be responsible for the cost of parts, such as tubes or tires.
Are there rest stops along the routes?
Yes the rest areas are stocked with snacks like fruit, nutritional bars, etc. as well as water, Gatorade and sanitation.
Can I wear my ipod or bluetooth while I ride?
No, for your safety and the safety of your fellow participants we ask that you do not wear any personal electronic devices. We do recommend you carry your cell phone with you in case of emergency or if you become in need of SAG support. If you must use your cell phone we ask that you stop safely on the side of the road to do so.
How will I know where the routes go?
When you check in at registration you can choose your route and take the corresponding cue sheet. The Course is also marked with Pedal for Your Cause Arrows. However please use your cue sheets as your primary directions and road marking second as the road markings can be obscured by parked vehicles, etc.
What is the terrain like?
The terrain is flat to rolling with no major hills.
What is the fundraising requirement?
There is no fundraising requirement just your registration fee, although additional donations are always welcome
Is the ride rain or shine?
Yes. The Pedal for Your Cause will take place rain or shine. However, ride organizers will be "on the ground" evaluating conditions as they arise. Any decision to cancel the ride will be made at their discretion with the safety of the riders foremost. Riders must respect this decision. All riders should bring appropriate gear for all conditions.
Will I be able to purchase a Pedal for Your Cause jersey prior to the ride?
Yes you can purchase a jersey when you register to be picked up at on-site registration at the event, or mailed to you.
Are there activities for my friends at Outback Steakhouse?
Yes we will have a vendor expo, silent auction, music and food throughout the day. We will also have entertainment for the kids as well.
