Registration Packet Delivery

Each Rider must wear a Tierra Bella wristband for SAG services, admission to the rest stops. A separate meal ticket will be provided for those who purchase the hot meal service following the ride. About a week before the event, a packet with route sheets and wrist bands and meal tickets for each rider will be mailed to those who have registered and paid by April 7, 2023. Riders who do not receive their packet by mail will need to pick it up on the day of our event at the Gavilan College Student Center between 6:30 AM and 9:30 AM.

All routes start at Gavilan College, 5055 Santa Teresa Blvd, Gilroy, CA 95020. Please double-check your GPS directions: Gavilan College has opened another campus on Bailey Road in Morgan Hill - the Bailey Road campus is not used by Tierra Bella.

Meal Service

After you finish, a delicious catered hot meal will be served in the Cafeteria area of the Gavilan Student Center. This year we have separated out the cost of the after-ride meal ($20) from the tour fees and reduced the total tour fee accordingly because many riders have other plans for post-ride rejuvenation. Guest/non-rider meals are also available for pre-purchase. Meals must be ordered prior to the ride (by April 8, 2023) so we can confirm quantities with our caterer. To ensure that everyone who pre-purchased a meal is able to be served, limited meals may be purchased after 4:30pm at the event.

Massage

Professional massage therapists will be offering muscle-rejuvenating massages at rides end at Gavilan College. The therapists will charge their customary fee and will accept payment only in cash.

Notice To Unpaid Riders

The Tierra Bella is limited to 1,500 riders because of constraints on parking, food, support logistics, and most important, safety. We will be actively screening for unpaid riders on the day of the ride. All riders must wear wrist bands.

If you aren't registered for the Tierra Bella, we ask that you choose a different route for this weekend and trust that you will understand.
