WHAT IF I AM NOT RECEIVING THE FREQUENT COMMUNICATIONS AND UPDATES IN MY EMAIL?

It seems like many of the email blasts going out are ending up in folders like “spam”, “promotions”, or “junk”. Many times, this can be resolved by searching for those and then allowing access or moving to inbox.

WHERE CAN I FIND EVENT UPDATES?

Information will be emailed out to our email list. Additionally, all information can be found and accessed on our website at https://belgianwaffleride.bike Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Belgianwaffleride Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/belgianwaffleride

CAN I DO THE EVENT ON MY MOUNTAIN BIKE?

The event is possible on a variety of bicycles including mountain, road (San Diego only), E-Bike, tandem and ElliptiGO—but choose your weapon wisely and a good gravel bike like the Canyon Grizl or Grail is recommended.

WHAT IF I DO NOT LIKE WAFFLES?

Blasphemy! Trick question as even though the Belgian Waffle Ride will make you cringe and suffer, everyone loves waffles!

WHERE CAN I FIND THE ROUTE MAPS?

We do not reveal the routes or until the week before the event in respect for private landowners and areas that are permitted only for that one special day a year. There will be, however, many hints and communications that will give all the information needed to choose the correct equipment and sector info needed for a successful ride. Routes will be available in the expo at registration.

WILL THERE BE FEED ZONES ON COURSE?

YES! The BWR is always very well supported and stocked with stations every 20-miles. This year, we teamed up with F2C Nutrition and they have wonderful fueling options with all the calories and electrolytes you need for race day, which will be available for bottle fills at each aid station: Visit them here: https://www.f2cnutrition.com/ Also, our partner, The Feed supplies our Feed Zones with all sorts of sustenance, like SIS Isotonic Gels, SIS Beta Fuel Gels, Enervit Carbo Bars, Enervit Carbo Chews, and plenty more to you to the finish.

CAN I HAVE MY OWN SUPPORT ON COURSE?

We do have well stocked stations, but many have special dietary needs or may have a personal preference and we understand this. For many reasons we do allow this, but we recommend that this support happen near an existing aid station. We need to ensure all trash or empties are off course and other riders are expecting people to stop around the stations making this the safest option. There will be trash cans avail as well. NO VEHICLE HAND UPS FROM ANY NON-OFFICIAL BWR VEHICLE- AUTOMATIC DQ.

CAN I SWITCH FROM THE WAFER TO THE FULL WAFFLE OR VICE VERSA?

Yes, absolutely, and all changes can be made simply by logging you’re your BikeReg account and edit your registration category. For more assistance please visit- https://www.bikereg.com/knowledge-base Switching distances during the event will be scored as a DNF.

CAN MY FRIEND PICK UP MY PACKET FOR ME?

Unfortunately no, as each registrant is required to sign/agree to their own waivers.

CAN I SWITCH FROM WAFFLE TO WAFER, WAFER TO WANNA OR WANNA TO WAFFLE?

Yes, please do online before showing up to the mandatory packet pick up at the BWR UNROAD Expo. This can be done while logged into your BikeReg account.

CAN I PICK UP MY NUMBER ON THE MORNING OF THE EVENT?

Official packet pick up is at the BWR UNROAD Expo the day before your ride. We do have early morning for the day of but beware that many miss their start time because of long lines. Warning: it is very hectic and time consuming in the morning attempting to process hundreds of registrants before the start of the event. Please show up early and be kind to the staff and volunteeers there to help you.
