On Sunday we offer a guided bicycle tour of historic Chas -12 miles; depending on the details the guide shares & the questions of the group, it can last from 1.5- 2 hours. On Sun we also have an out & back route that can be from 10-100 miles.

Short Stay or Hotel

Options for accommodations. The best & first choice is Short Stay. Lake front villias, fishing huts, RV and tent sights. If we fill up Short Stay we can access Overton Park next door, or the Boy Scouts Camp next to Overton. The Holiday Inn in Moncks Corner is about 10 miles away. It has a hot breakfast. But you miss the movies, oysters, camp fire, and fellowship. And you pay lots more. Other hotels are much further away.

December ?

For 13 years, Festivelo has been held the first weekend in Dec, we are moving to the first weekend in Nov this, our 14th, year. This was a vote by our all volunteer group and many emails and face to face requests from our riders. We use to go to Charleston to enjoy the boat parade and Christmas tree lighting. We will offer an optional trip to Chas Saturday afternoon. More details in the summer. We hope you will come to Festivelo with friends and family

T shirts:

We offer a wicking or techno T-shirt that is not included in the price. These are long sleeve and do not have any sponsors or advertising other than the new Festivelo logo.

Refunds, Helments, Release

Festivelo is rain or shine, no refunds. But we have things to do if it rains. Helmets are required. THey must be approved and fitted properly. We do not compromise safety. All riders will need to sign a release of liability at packet pick up.

Notifcations -

We email all updates and notifications. We do not mail or send any news other than by email. If you do not use email, please provide the email address of a friend or family member that you are in contact with often. We will send updates to the email address you provide.

Name on BIB number

We try to encourage and set the stage to develop lasting friendships thus having a reason to come back and see ole acquaintances each year. When you sign up before Oct 15, your bib number will have your first name on the top and your city and town on the bottom, so as you see each other at rest stops on the route, you can start a conversation .

Meals- ride to eat, eat to ride

Menus will be posted in October. We will have breakfast& dinner options. Lunch is at the major rest stop. Typically we offer steamed oysters & beer each night. We normally have Low Country Boil one night All our meals are all you care to enjoy. The Chocolate Obsession Garden will be under new management this year, it usually on Thursday night. During the nightly movie we have snacks at no charge - pizza, ice cream, chips, salsa, ,pop corn, or other "light treats"
