Here’s how it works:

  • Sign up solo or with friends – lots of people ride the 10-Spot Ride together, we’ve had groups as large as 25!
  • You’ll get your Starting Spot the day before via email – Check in here to receive your guidebook, commemorative cup, reusable utensils, and QR-coded route map. Enjoy your first taste and live music while planning your route.
  • Check in starts at 10:30. Event runs 11:00 AM - 4:00 PM – Check in at any time, visit as many of the 10 Spots as you wish, in whatever order you choose. Each Spot features signature tastes and nonalcoholic sips from local restaurants, live music, and amazing locations thanks to our generous hosts. You’ll pedal on city roads, so be prepared to share the road with cars and other people on bikes.
  • The 10 Spots stay secret until event day – Past locations have included historic mansions, private gardens, downtown inns, waterfront properties, arboreta, and even a tall ship.
