In keeping with National Sierra Club Covid 19-safety guidance, state mask requirements prevail so there is no mask requirement while gathering outside for the ride or during the ride. However, regarding entering the restrooms at the Ferndale City Hall and the Lexus Velodrome on the long ride, or Beverly Park restrooms on the short ride, “Sierra Club strongly encourages the continued use of masks in indoor spaces where vaccination status is unknown, mixed, and/or in crowded indoor spaces.” For this reason, please bring a mask to the event. Here is a link to Sierra Club’s safety tips.
No in-person payment will be taken the day of the event. Tickets for the rides are available now on Eventbrite (search “Green Cruise”) for $12 + fee. Additionally, you may purchase a ticket online on the morning of the event or online at the event. Note: you will need to sign a Sierra Club waiver the day of the event.
