Bike Ride to the Festival

Help reduce the festival’s environmental impact – leave your car at home, and join the Bike Ride to the Festival. You’ll even get priority entrance to the Festival Campground on Wednesday morning!

2011 marked our second annual organized bike rides out to the festival. The approximately two-hour bike ride was a great chance to enjoy the outdoors and help reduce the festival’s carbon impact.

• A safe-ride van will accompany riders and carry their stuff.

• Riders will get priority entrance to the Festival Campground on Wednesday morning.

• Departure times will be staggered based on the preferred speed of the riders.

• All participants will have the option to load their camping gear (one bag and one cooler) onto a truck. Please bring appropriate riding gear, a snack and plenty of water.
