BikeFest is on Saturday, September 27, 2025
Registered riders may pick up their registration packets at the start of the event or on Friday, September 26, 2025 between 3 & 5:00 pm at Trek Bicycle Chapel Hill, 243 S Elliott Rd, Chapel Hill, NC 27514.
There will not be a large group start as in previous years, instead we will have an open rolling start to help maintain social distancing best practices. The routes will be open at 7:30, which is still technically twilight so bike lights are recommended. Once you have your wrist bands you are welcome to begin your ride when the routes are open.
