SAFETY The Cruisin’ the Bayou is a recreational event--NOT a race! Although most roads are lightly traveled, riders should expect to encounter motorists. Participants should operate their bicycles in a safe, lawful manner and obey traffic laws throughout the ride. As a member of the League of American Bicyclists, Bayou Country Cyclists requires that all participants in the ride wear ANSI or SNELL approved helmets at all times while operating their bicycles. There are no exceptions to this requirement. In addition, the use of radios while operating your bicycle is prohibited.

SPECIAL DONATION Cystic Fibroses Foundation

T-SHIRTS All riders who pre-register by March 26, 2010 will receive a Cruisin’ the Bayou t-shirt on the day of the event. Sorry children’s registration fees do not include a t-shirt, but they may be ordered if you pre-register by March 26, 2010. For those whose registration forms are received after March 26, 2010, t-shirts will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis on the day of the event, until we run out.

POST-RIDE ACTIVITIES Registered riders will return to the park and enjoy an entrée, homemade side dishes & desserts, and beer & soft drinks. Fruit and snacks will also be on hand.
