Bike the Coast – Taste the Coast garners registrants well ahead of projections, and predicts a sell-out of the 1,000 rider capacity for 2010.
“I’m very pleased with the support that we’ve gotten from the City of Oceanside, our sponsors and the community for this inaugural event. With this sort of response from cyclists we hope to build a successful annual event to showcase the leadership of Oceanside as a cycling community. We’re very excited about the response so far.” said Jim Curl, the event organizer for Bike the Coast – Taste the Coast.
He also mentioned, “We worked with our partners to increase our capacity from 1,000 to 1,100 riders since we sold out our online capacity. 7, 15 and Family&Friends entries are sold out online. We have added 100 online registration slots for 50/25 miles, available until they are sold out, or 11:59pm October 31st. If you are planning to participate, and want to register for the 50 or 25 mile routes, please register soon. We expect to sell out of the slots we have available for online registration. ”
“We will also have 150 additional entries for walk-up registration on Nov 5 at the Beach Community Center (300 N. The Strand), starting at noon. These will be available on a first come, first served basis. 100 entries will be available for the 50 or 25 mile routes, and 50 entries for the 7 or 15 mile routes.”
