See how your commitment impacts a client's life.

 

Thank you all for your passion for Moveable Feast's mission.  To date, donations for Ride for the Feast are enough to feed 185 people for one year.  Please take a moment to meet Judith, just one of many Moveable Feast clients directly affected by Ride for the Feast.

Read this Checklist:
Click here to read the logistics and packing checklists (for riders & crew).  The checklist is necessary for veteran/new riders & crew.   Below are five specific areas to review.
 
5 Things to Review:
1) Bus Deadline - 1 week away!

Riders, May 2 is the last day to buy your bus ticket to Ocean City.  We will have charter buses leaving from Baltimore City around noon on Friday, May 18.  Click here to buy your bus ticket for $25/each.  Crew/supporters are responsible for their own transportation.  

 

2) Any Changes?
Please tell us if there is any change in your plans.  Are you unable to ride?  Do you need to change your Crew role/time?  Update Elana ASAP with any changes, by calling or emailing at ekanter@mfeast.org. This information is critical to the success of ride weekend, so please be in touch with any changes or concerns.
 
3) Fundraising Emails
Here are some helpful fundraising emails and a Ride for the Feast flyer.  Please use these in your fundraising appeals, or to promote the ride and recruit more Crew!
 
4) Need Help Finding a Hotel Room?
Reserve lodging for yourself and anyone joining you during Ride weekend.  Click here to see the list of lodging suggestions.  We still have spaces at both host free options, at St. Paul's By-The-Sea Episcopal Church (Friday) & Chesapeake College (Saturday).

Need help finding a room in Ocean City?  Try calling the Ocean City Convention Center!  They have a central
listing of the area's hotels.  
Just call: 800-626-2326. 
 
5) Tune-Up!
Start looking out for great specials and tune-up deals at our participating bike shops.  Here is one tune-up event:  On Thursday, May 10 at 7:30 PM, come to Joe's Bike Shop in Fells Point (723-B South Broadway) for a full tuneup for only $50 ($75 value!)
Joe's Bike Shop is also a Ride for the Feast bike sponsor this year.  A tune-up is not all you'll get--you'll also enjoy music, food, drinks, and tiki good times with the rest of the Team Atomic gang. Aloha! (All proceeds donated to Moveable Feast.)
