The Basics

Basics: Overnights will be at the Beckwith Camp and Conference Center 10400 Beckwith Lane, Fairhope, AL 36532. The camp is less than fourteen miles from the towns of Foley and Fairhope. There are canoes and kayaks for participants to use. A beach on Weeks Bay and a pool are available for swimming. A small adventure course is on site and can be used for a fee. Participants must preregister so a guide can be secured. Weeks Bay is wonderful for fishing. All Alabama fishing rules apply. Besides camping, AMBA participants can choose to sleep in a sixteen person bunkhouse, limited dorm rooms, limited cottages, and limited mutual rooms. All indoor facilities are air conditioned. Meals: Breakfasts will be offered at the camp dining hall each morning, and lunch will be provided at lunch locations where eating establishments are not available. We will throw a cookout where you can meet fellow riders and volunteers. Other meals are on your own. We encourage you to visit our sponsors especially on the days established as Sponsor name days.” Daily Rest Stops will be provided every day on route and be stocked with water, Gatorade, fruits, and snacks. Check your cue sheets for locations, We try to set them approximately twenty-miles apart. SAG (Support Aid Group) Service will be provided each day for a limited time. Because mileage changes each day, this time will also change depending on the distances ridden. Cue sheets will list when SAG Service starts and stops each day. The SAGs will have water, bike pumps, first aid kits and cell phones. We will try to have mechanics on call. Bring your own pump, extra tubes and repair kits to change flats and a multi-tool to get you on the road faster. SAG service is provided for mechanical or emergency pickup along the biking route. It is not intended as a taxi service. You will not be SAG’ed if you venture off the official biking route. A Bike Mechanical Service will be stationed at camp and operate for a finite time each morning and evening. Discounted parts will be provided, you must pay for the parts and repairs. Weather in Baldwin County Alabama at the time of this ride should be hot and humid (80 to mid 90 degrees) but cold spells (60 degrees) occasionally happen. Wind is always a threat near the coastline and can be unpredictable. Rain is always a possibility so be prepared on and off the road. It is not unusual to have rain in the afternoon for a short period. When it does come it can be spotty, raining in one place and not another. Terrain can include climbs and wind can make flat roads difficult. If you can't handle hills or wind, this ride may be too difficult for you.	OUR SPONSORS
