What happens if it rains?
The NITE Ride is a rain or shine event. Even if it's raining, the ride will continue. The only situation where the ride would cancel is in the event of severe weather imminently impacting any location along the NITE Ride Route that threatens the safety of our riders. All decisions are made prior to the start of the ride to avoid having severe weather strike while participants are on the ride.

I’m pre-registered. Can someone else pick up my registration packet and T-shirt?
Yes. You may have someone else pick up your packet, but you will need to make sure they have a copy of your registration confirmation email.

I pre-registered via the website but didn’t receive a Confirmation Letter.
Confirmation letters are not being sent. If you do not receive a confirmation email, contact the Managing Director, niteride@cibaride.org.

May I cancel my pre-registration?
We are not able to process cancellations. However, you may transfer your registration to another participant without notice to us. Simply have the other participant report to a check-in table and show your confirmation email. We will not be able to change t-shirt sizes since we order exact amounts and sizes.

I’ve already pre-registered but would like to add to my order. Is this possible?
Apologies, but due to data management issues we are not able to adjust pre-registration information. A limited supply of all sizes of t-shirts and sweatshirts will be on sale at the event. We can also place an order for you and mail your purchase to your home after the event.

Are riders 18 or younger allowed to ride? Yes. For safety of all participants and to ensure compliance with Indiana Curfew Laws, participants under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or custodian or by an adult permitted by the child’s parent, legal guardian or custodian. Registration for riders under 18 require consent by a parent or legal guardian.

Do I have to ride a particular type of bicycle? I prefer riding my mountain bike.
Any type of bicycle, as long as it is safe working order, may be used. The only stipulations are you must use a front and rear light and wear a helmet.
