With the varied terrain, our 2024 routes will be friendly for a majority of types of bikes including gravel, cross, road, and mountain bikes.

Recommended Bikes: Given the terrain type and BASC being a mixed-use ride experience; mountain, gravel, and cyclocross bicycles are strongly recommended. Bicycles that have wider, knobby-type tires will roll over the gravel/dirt roads with greater ease. Road and hybrid bikes can be rode at your own discretion.

• E-Bikes are welcome – please follow the recommendations above regarding bike types.
  • Note: You will be responsible for charging your bike throughout the weekend. At this time, access to charging stations is not confirmed so please plan accordingly. We will post any updates asap.
• Please do not plan on riding a triathlon, beach cruiser, or any bicycle with skinny tires and no tread.  We also do not recommend single-speed bicycles, but rather bikes with gears.
• Helmets are required.

Recommend Tires: We suggest tires with some sort of traction and/or wider, knobby tires. 28mm is the suggested minimum.

For more resources about which bike would be right for you, please click here.

Yes, you can use either of these because it is a ride and not a race. Please note that you will be responsible for charging your bike each night. At this time, access to charging stations is not confirmed so please plan accordingly. We will update post any updates here asap.
