IT’S IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT …

Before you register, please understand the following: 
For many years the City of Solvang has shown no interest in hosting this event (by making it nearly impossible to obtain permits). The City of Buellton gladly grants the permits; but contingent upon the 1000 rider limit and  requiring the ride starts/ends at the Marriott (the only venue with space).

The event receives ZERO sponsorship funds. Given the smaller size, it’s a challenge to attract companies to product sample or set up a booth. If you expect/require a large vendor expo, we don’t have that. But we may have a few smaller vendors. We always welcome them; and we don’t charge for it.

What we do offer, is a beautiful, historic route through one of California’s most popular cycling venues. During your ride, we’ll support you will a great selection of snacks and drinks at the aid stations along the course.

Regrettably, we are unable to offer a post-ride meal. The Marriott forbids us from bringing in food trucks or any outside catering. As we learned in 2022, the food offered by Marriott was ridiculously expensive and unsatisfying in quantity and quality. For 2023 and beyond, their prices skyrocketed. Your cost for a very small post-ride meal would be upwards of $40. The majority of participants prefer to spend that money in a local restaurant of their choosing.

There’s a decent restaurant and bar in the Marriott lobby that has good food with reasonable prices. Firestone Walker Brewery is walking distance from the Marriott. Also within walking distance are several fast/quick serve options. There are many excellent restaurant choices in Solvang. So enjoy the cycling, then explore the local eats and drinks! Most importantly, supporting the local restaurants keeps the locals happier about the event!
