Big Dam Bridge 100

August 8, 2020

The 2020 BDB100 ride has been converted to a Challenge event with two options.

Cyclists may take part in a Driveway Challenge - a virtual event where cyclists may ride anytime and from any place. Cyclists who prefer to roll their current registration to the 2021 tour may certainly do so at no charge.

This is a first in the history of our ride, and it is not the route we wanted to take. But, after countless hours of planning and considerations, we believe it is more prudent to consider the fact that we don’t know what Covid-19 will hand us during the next two months, and the health and safety of our cyclists is our priority.

We wanted to present you with options in consideration of your ride preference and comfort level as much as possible, given the pandemic. Like you, we have been energized in gearing up for this ride, so we hope you will join us in making the most of it. Regardless of which ride option you choose, it WILL be complimented by an outstanding SWAG package. You can find the information regarding the virtual tour on the BDB100 website, www.thebigdambridge100.com.

You’ll also find the course on the RaceJoy app. For any of you who have not used RaceJoy in the past, the app provides you with mile tracking, pacing, virtual cheer sections for your supporters and other features.

Cancelling and/or changing to a challenged-based event is never an easy decision to make, and we know that this news is disappointing to all of you, just as it is disappointing to us. We understand the hours you have dedicated to training for this race, so please know that this cancelation was made with the safety of the entire community in mind. We look forward to having you take part in the challenge event and hope you will encourage others to participate.
