Bike the Drive Rider Materials Include:
Rider Number
Closer to the event, you will be emailed your eTickets as a PDF attachment. You will need to print this PDF and follow the instructions below on how to affix your rider number to your bike and your number to your helmet. Rider numbers allow you to easily pass through checkpoints and enjoy snacks at our rest stops. Continue reading below for more information regarding t-shirt pick up, and Challenge medals.
Official Event T-Shirt
The Official T-shirt, made from moisture-wicking fabric, will be available for purchase as an add on item during registration or can be added later from your registration participant portal online. All T-Shirts must be picked up the day of the event. If applicable, your printable rider number includes a t-shirt voucher. Snip off your t-shirt voucher and redeem it on the day of the event.
- T-Shirts can be picked up at the Festival grounds located at Butler Field in Grant Park (near the Monroe entrance so you don’t need to enter the festival if you’d prefer not to)
