Yes. With 1,000 riders we want to make sure that you, having paid for your ticket, get to enjoy the snacks, beverages, and other TdL activities.
No. It’s a matter of safety as well as courtesy to your fellow TdL riders. And while you know your sense of balance is superb and you can multi-task with the best of ’em, please move to the side of the road/trail and stop if you have to use your cell phone or other device.
Yes. If you are wearing a Tour de Lavender bib number, but not a helmet, you may be stopped by a Tour de Lavender volunteer and asked to relinquish your bib number.
No. The two rides overlap, but they are different. The Fun Ride turns left at the start/finish; the Metric Century turns right.
The Metric Century and the Fun Ride routes are marked with directional arrows (Dan Henry marks) of a different color. Directional and safety notice signs are located at various places along both routes. At check-in, you’ll receive a map of each route and you can decide which one you want to ride. Tour de Lavender volunteer staff at each of the stops along the way can also direct you.
You’ll get tickets via email shortly after you purchase them. You should print them and bring them with you. Any items–jerseys, t-shirts, etc.–you’ve ordered from our online Store, are handed out at the Merchandise Tent on the day of the event. After the event we will mail such items to those who did not show up.
Yes. This year we’re limiting the number of riders to 800, so sign up early! This is one TdL you won’t want to miss!
No, the roads are open to vehicle traffic so you must obey all the rules of the road. Ride to the right, and no more than two abreast. Stop at all stop signs. Ride safely and be courteous and respectful to your fellow riders and to drivers.
It’s a good idea if you’ve never ridden more than 30 miles at a time. We suggest you spend at least several weeks building up your conditioning and stamina to tackle 60+ plus miles of cycling in a single day. The Tour de Lavender Metric Century is over a relatively easy route, but it does have some challenging hill climbs; it is, after all, more than 60 miles long and you’ve only got around 8 hours to finish.
Your registration fee covers both rides–you buy your ticket and decide which route you want to ride once you get here. The fee includes admission to all participating lavender farms, access to the snacks and beverages provided at the farms, and lots of other “freebies” we’ll be handing out during the event. It does not include a jersey (those must be purchased separately).
Yep! Each rider must complete a registration form including the waiver. This gives each rider access to all services.
Yes. Your ticket purchase covers both routes and you can decide which one you want to ride.
