Ride Day Details and Information
Parking: HERE is our recommended surface and underground lots (remember to be aware of low clearance in all underground lots)
Staging: Here is our Staging Diagram. Corporate Challenge and VIPs are in the Red Section, between the S/F line and Army/Navy Drive. Gold Medal Pace riders are in the next Red section, followed by Silver Pace in the Blue, and finally, Bronze Pace at the back.
Bike Valet
We will be offering a Bike Valet, Courtesy Bike Arlington this year, near Turn 1, so you can conveniently valet your bike and stay for the Pro/Am races. Also, consider riding your bike to the event, and feel free to use the Bike Valet to check-in a back-pack for a change of clothes and supplies, you can pick up after your ride.
Medal pick-up
To collect your finishers medal when you have completed your Challenge Ride, continue through the Start/Finish line and exit the course at turn one and find your proper Bronze, Silver or Gold medal queue.
Hydration
Once you finished your ride and picked-up your medal, stop by the Volvo Recharge station to fill up your water bottle. Keep in mind, if you need additional hydration during the ride, we recommend you bring extra bottles and have a friend hand them off to you. Our hydration stations are good for filling up, but we will only have the one station off the course, near Medal Distribution.
Bib Number and Timing Chip
Everyone participating in the ride will receive a bib number and timing chip. Wear your bib number so we know you are registered to participate. The photo on the right shows several alternatives for pinning on your bib numbers: A. One on the back, B. One on the front, or C. Both on your back, like the pros.
Attach your timing chip to your bike’s seatpost before you arrive so we can track your time and provide you with your results and assign your laps to the appropriate Challenge competition.
