Vasa is sold out, so if you’re really jonesing for blueberry soup, we hope you’ll be able to join us next year. Here are a few other things to remember:

• You must sign yourself and only yourself in. If you registered a friend as a guest, they are listed under their own name and must sign themselves in.
• There is no designated pit stop; you may stop wherever you want, whenever you want. Please prepare accordingly.
• Don’t forget to hydrate before, during, and after the ride. Bring the water you’ll need.
• We’ll have masking tape and markers for you to identify your lock, which you can lock at the start and retrieve at the end.
• Seriously, you need to wear a helmet.
