Bike MS is an extraordinary ride no matter where you are! Whether you have a flat tire or need a snack to help get you across the finish line, we’ve got you covered…

Each route includes fully-stocked rest stops every 10 to 12 miles with some of the best snacks and volunteers around. Relax, hydrate, use the restroom, re-apply sunscreen and enjoy the volunteers. Bike mechanics and support and gear (SAG) vehicles will also be on the route to assist you.

A light breakfast including fruit, granola bars etc. will be available prior to the ride. All routes aside from the 30 mile route will enjoy lunch on the course at Magnolia’s at the Mill restaurant in Purcellville, VA. All participants will receive sandwiches courtesy of Giant Food at finish line along with two alcoholic beverages (21+) courtesy of Aslin Brewing Company to celebrate their accomplishments.

100-mile cyclists will receive additional Giant Sandwiches at a later rest stop along with typical rest stop snacks as well.
