We have partnered with Unlimited Biking for bike rental for our event. When booking a bike with Unlimited Biking your bike will be ready for pickup the day before the ride and Unlimited Biking will pick up the bike from you at the finish line. No need to haul your rental from the ride! Book directly on their website.
Bike rentals discounts have been coordinated by Bike to the Beach, and include a two day rental and post ride pick-up at the finish-line.
Bike to the Beach offers four (4) methods to ride:
In a relay, one rider will bike the first leg. At the half-way meeting point, the second rider will bike the remaining portion of the ride. Only one exchange is allowed, and participants must provide their own chase vehicles.
Our virtual challenge starts the week before our event and is comprised of seven (7) daily, trackable challenges designed to be fun, engaging, and supportive of our cause. Each challenge participant will receive points for the actions taken. If the participant reaches 1,000 points, rides their goal distance (tracked by STRAVA) and raises $250, they will earn our custom Bike to the Beach jersey and finisher shirt.

Bike to the Beach is not an ordinary bike ride; it’s a destination experience designed to immerse you in the beauty and diversity of the region. While our route isn’t a closed course, rest assured that we’ve meticulously selected bike-safe roads to ensure your safety throughout the entire journey.
Our commitment to your well-being extends to providing police or volunteer support in challenging areas. Fear not, for bike mechanics and chase cars accompany you every mile of the way, ready to offer additional support should you need it. But that’s not all – we’ve strategically placed rest stops approximately every 15 miles, stocked with refreshing beverages, hydration stations, and essential medical aids.
It’s not just a ride; it’s a celebration of camaraderie, exploration, and the sheer joy of pedaling toward the beach on a route designed for safety, adventure, and pure excitement. Join us, and let the thrill of the route ignite your passion for the ride!
Segments The 100-Mile Ride consists of six (6) legs (less for shorter disances). Rest stops are stationed along the ride, approximately 15-20 miles apart (exact rest stop locations may change prior to the event):

This is a fully supported ride with mechanics, chase cars, medics and ride guides to support your journey.
We will include an Emergency Bracelet at the starting line with important phone numbers. Please wear this bracelet to ensure that you can reach ride support and basic first-aid care when it is needed.
CALL 911 for all actual medical emergencies.
Our logistics team prides itself on our support and response time. If at any point in the ride you need mechanical sup- port, call one of the provided phone numbers, and we will come assist you.
There are three levels of issues on ride day:
The safety of our riders is our top priority at all of our events. We are proud to partner with Moto Medx. They have quali- fied and clinically experienced Registered Nurses, Paramed- ics, and Emergency Medical Technicians ready to deliver reliable medical support for our events.
We have SAG (“Support and Gear”) vehicles along the route to assist you in any way needed. You will be given a BLUE bracelet with important numbers, including road support and EMS support.
Please ensure that you have tire irons, bike tubes, a CO2 cartridge or pump with you throughout the ride and that you start the ride on equipment that is ready for a long ride (i.e. – do not start the ride with tires with holes in them, etc.).
If you are starting at our 100-mile starting line, there will NOT be mechanic support at the starting line, so it is important that your bike is “ready-to-ride” when you start the event. The mechanic team will be positioned at the 1st rest stop and on the route. This policy ensures that we leave at the planned start time and our mechanic support team is able to support the riders on the road as soon as the event starts.
The ride will finish at Wyndham Deerfield Beach Resort, our official hotel partner for the event. The finish line will have a variety of activities to keep the whole family entertained, and the beach is right across the street!
Lunch will be available for purchase (complimentary for all Bike to the Beach participants who raise $250 or more).

Ensuring the bus leaves on-time:
If you are scheduled to ride the bus, it is important to maintain a cycling pace that allows you to arrive by 3:30 PM. If you are unable to do so, you MUST contact ride support and arrange to be moved forward by one of our SAG vehicles.
This is your responsibility. We highly advise calling early in the ride, rather than later, if your pace will result in a finish time after 3:30 PM. For example, request a pickup to move from Rest Stop 4 to Rest Stop 6, so you can ride the last leg on your own, rather than riding to Rest Stop 5 and then being taken to the finish. To keep our SAG vehicles available on the road, we will have more SAG vehicles available for rest stop-to-rest stop transportation than for rest stop-to-finish-line transportation.
Bike Loading for Bus Transportation
Bikes will be transported in a truck that follows the bus. It is crucial to keep the bikes meant for bus transportation separate from those riders will take home on their own.
After completing your ride, hand your bike directly to the Unlimited Biking team. They will be managing the bike transportation service this year.
Bike to the Beach, in partnership with Unlimited Biking, will take every precaution to protect bikes during transportation, typically wrapping them in moving blankets and/or securing them to prevent movement.
Our team and volunteers handle your bike with care while loading and transporting it. If you’re concerned about potential scratches, we encourage you to bring extra packing materials to further protect or pack your bike yourself.
Please note that Bike to the Beach is NOT responsible for any damage to bikes or bike accessories incurred during transportation. We strongly recommend that you remove any accessories from your bike prior to loading.
