BRBC's ride to support, "The Buddy Ride" - in memory of Buddy Amoroso
About this event
The Buddy Ride, co-hosted by BRBC and VS Tour de Friends.
We are so excited to bring back the Buddy Ride! This year we are honoring the memory of Buddy and the many others who we have lost or have been injured while doing what they loved, riding their bikes! We hope you can join us.
Buddy was a Baton Rouge councilman and avid cyclist. He was killed while riding in June 2018. This ride is in remembrance of him and his efforts to improve Baton Rouge.
Even though this event is FREE, registration is required.
Please note: tandem cyclists require 2 registrations.

47 mile - https://ridewithgps.com/routes/39182367
The main route will be approximately 48 miles on River Road to the stocked rest stop rest stop at the L'auberge Casino overflow lot at the turn around point. There will also be a rolling SAG. On the return, the route will go around the Bayou Paul loop (which also gives you the Amanda Grace park on the back half of the route as an unsupported rest stop). The route map will be posted on the Baton Rouge Bike Club website and we will send it via email as well once it has been finalized. There will be shorter route options as upcoming announcements for newer riders.
The ride starts/ends at Istrouma Brewing. If parking is full, please park at the Amanda Grace Park on Bayou Paul Ln nearby. As this is a free "remembrance" ride, lunch is not included. However, please support Istrouma brewing as our host as they have food and beverages available for purchase.
Bring evidence of your registration with you and check-in at the registration table prior to your event. There is no RAIN date available for this event.
