- Everyone must check-in at our event registration area at the hotel. Our event takes place in the garden, so head towards the left-back side of the hotel so it is easiest to enter straight into the event space near the garden.
- When you arrive at the hotel parking lot, take a left for the main parking lot, then wrap around the building to the right for the entrance. You’ll see your REV friends once you walk inside the hotel.
- Plan on arriving 30-45 minutes before your ride departure time so you have time to park and register.
- We expect May 12 to be a hot and sunny day! The morning may start off chilly, but temps are expected to rise by mid-day; be sure to dress in layers to stay cool on your ride.
- Riders and volunteers alike: we suggest bringing a hat, sunblock, your refillable water bottle, comfortable shoes, and a fully-charged cell phone along.
- We look forward to spending a beautiful day with you at the REV. Thank you for supporting BORP!
- Everyone participating in the Virtual REV will receive a Zoom link ahead of the event.
- The Virtual REV runs all day, with varied programming from an array of instructors.
- We have Virtual REVers scheduled to be in attendance at the in-person REV in Santa Rosa, so you will have the chance to see a little of what is going at the hotel.
- Virtual REVers who meet their fundraising minimum will be mailed their REV shirt.
- The Virtual REV program schdule will be posted nearer the event day.
Event Routes
REV cycling routes winding through wine country will be beautiful. We welcome riders of all abilities, with ride, roll or stroll route options for everyone–it’s not a REV without YOU!
In-person REV participants may choose from the following routes for their Santa Rosa REV ride:
Roll & Stroll on the trail:
Ride, roll or stroll up to 10-miles along the paved Santa Rosa Creek trail. Folks are encouraged to walk, roll, or stroll as far as they are comfortable, and turn-around at any point along the trail.
30-Miles Cycling Route:
This gorgeous 28.3-mile route starts with 5 miles on the trail, then branches out for 20 miles through beautiful Santa Rosa, before heading to the trail and hotel for lunch and the Festival. View and download the route here.
40-Miles Cycling Route:
This beautiful 41-mile route starts with 5-miles down the trail, then 30 miles through scenic winding Santa Rosa roads, and back to the trail, ending at the hotel for lunch and festivities. View and download the route here.
45-Miles Cycling Route:
This 46.2-mile route is the same as the 40-Mile course, with a 5-mile loop add-on at the halfway point. This loop is harder than the rest of the route, so it’s not for everyone, but it may be perfect for you. View and download the route here.
