Welcome to the Plain Wrap Ride Volunteer Page

We are pleased to announce that Ride Yourself Fit and the Redlands Bicycle Classic have joined again this year to present the 11th annual Plain Wrap Ride as a part of the 2024 Classic.  The ride will take place on Saturday, April 13, starting at 8:00 am.

During the beginning years of the Redlands Bicycle Classic, a fun ride was presented as a part of the overall event.  Over the years, the ride changed from a general fun ride, to more of a challenge ride. Then, as the professional bike races expanded with longer and more challenging routes, the fun ride was administered by a local service club.  Ridership diminished over time as more public races were developed.  Today, the public races are seeing less participation and fewer spectators attend the Saturday morning events.  The Redlands Bicycle Classic has desired to boost the number of spectators and add events that all riders can enjoy and participate in.  In 2019 the Plain Wrap Ride was successfully reintroduced to the Classic.  Ride Yourself Fit and the Plain Wrap Ride will be back in 2024 and is included in the list of events for the Classic. 

The Plain Wrap Ride will operate in a similar manner as last year. Riders will be given a $5 voucher as they finish, and will be able to redeem this voucher for food, beverages and souvenirs on the Citrus Avenue parking structure and Vendor Village areas.  A secure bicycle parking service will also be provided at no cost to participants.  Riders can spend the day watching the profession races and enjoying the atmosphere for the longest continuing professional bicycle stage race in the country.

In order to provide a quality experience for the hundreds of riders anticipated, we need your help.  A number of volunteers are needed in various aspects of the ride.  Thank you to all the individuals who have volunteered to help and have filled needed positions in the past.  But there are a number of positions available and need to be filled.  Please contact Alessandra Wilson at accounts@rideyourselffit.org and indicate which position(s) you are able to fill.  Positions are listed below and will be filled in a first come, first assigned basis. Volunteer soon to get your preferred position!
