How do I know my registration was received?
A “Thank you for registering” message will appear on your screen and you will receive a confirmation e-mail entitled, “BLT 2019 Registration Completed." Please read the email carefully to verify that your registration was received correctly. The charge on your credit card will appear as “ATA*BLT.”
Boulevard Lakefront Tour needs volunteers in many capacities before, during and after the ride. Volunteer registration opens soon; please check back for an update at that time!
I’d like to ride a different route than the one I chose when I registered.
The route options on our sign-up form are for our planning purposes only. Feel free to ride whatever route you like—just make sure you’re there at the right start time.
I want to bring my child with me. Do I have to pay for him/her?
Our rule for the Boulevard Lakefront Tour is “If you pedal, you pay.” This means that children on their own bikes or those being pulled on a trail-a-bike must pay to ride. Children in trailers ride for free.
What about riding a tandem—do I have to pay for two people?
Our rule is, “If you pedal, you pay.” So, a tandem needs two paying riders, as does an adult rider with a child on a trail-a-bike. Children that are being pulled in a trailer or on a child’s seat on an adult’s bike do not need to pay.
The ride starts and finishes at REI Lincoln Park - 905 W Eastman St
Why do I need my rider and helmet numbers?
Your rider and helmet numbers let event staff and volunteers know you are part of the ride. Please have your number visible at all times so that staff and volunteers know that you are registered. Your numbers are your access to the ride rest stops and washrooms.
What do I need to bring the day of the ride?
For safety purposes, we recommend you do not wear headphones.
BLT will be held rain or shine.
