Rules

Rule #1: Camp out with your bike between December 26th and 31st.
No restrictions apply. The highlight night is Saturday, December 26th, but the event is open all week, anywhere between the 26th and the 31st. We’re well aware that many of you might be under COVID-19 restrictions, or even lockdown. So, we welcome you to camp in your backyard, your back porch, or wherever possible. Just make sure to follow rule number three…

Rule #2: Keep it small and self-sufficient.
Remember, we’re in the middle of a pandemic. Follow COVID-19 regulations: go solo, or camp out only with members of your household or in groups of 2-3 people, depending on your local regulations; carry everything you need and keep it local. This isn’t a party in the woods, it’s about maintaining our connection to the outdoors and reflecting on what comes next. Another idea is to plan a rendezvous campout. Meet a friend at a campsite and keep to social distancing guidelines.

Rule #3: Have a good night.
Enjoy your night, preferably outdoors… but we understand if that’s not an option. Eat some good camp grub. Drink something tasty. Stare at a fire. Look at the stars. Reflect on the changes you made in 2020 and lessons learned. Toast something, or someone. Good Luck. Godspeed. And peace out, 2020!
