FAQ

Team Registration

If you are registering as a team member for the Ocean to Bay Bike Tour, please select your choice of the standard or combo TEAM option when you register. A large number of team captains have provided the official team name that you can select from a drop-down menu when you enter your information.

What if I don’t see my team name listed on the drop-down menu?

Don’t worry!

  • If you are a team captain, you can still complete your registration by selecting “Other” and typing your official team name in the following field. Please
  • If you are not a team captain, you can still complete your registration. Contact your team leader and get the correct team name. Select “Other” on the drop-down menu and type in the correct name in the field below.

Will there be onsite registration?

The Ocean to Bay Bike Tour is expected to sell out. There will not be onsite registration to ensure all rest stops are properly supported with accurate counts. Online registration closes April 15th.

Ocean to Bay Coastal Cruise will be available for onsite registration on  FRIDAY ONLY as long as it is not sold out.

What do I need for packet-pick up?

All participants must show a photo ID and provide a signed, “wet-ink” waiver at packet pick up.

If picking up for a team or for a friend, please show their photo ID (either original or a photo) and turn in their signed “wet-ink” waiver. No electronic signatures permitted.

Why do I need a “wet-ink” waiver?

We understand that turning in a “wet-ink” waiver is antiquated and cumbersome. However, the insurance provider requires it. If we do not have your wet-ink waiver, you will not be covered by the event insurance (USA Cycling).

What does my registration include?

Your registration packet will include:

  • Bib(s)
  • Safety pins
  • Route Map & Cue Sheet
  • Safety information
  • Continue the Tour information
  • A commemorative throwback long-sleeve, cotton event shirt at packet pickup
