Venue, Directions, & Parking
Race Venue - Dane Street Beach
Dane Street Beach/Lyons Park/Lothrop Street
Athlete Parking - Lynch Park
Having an amazing course so close to downtown, means that parking at the race course is a challenge. However, there are ample nearby parking options available for this event. Athlete parking for this event is at Lynch Park, Beverly MA.
There are plenty of parking spots available at this location.
Spectator Parking
Spectators will be encouraged to park at the many downtown parking locations or along Buttman Street. Dane Street Beach is a short walk from downtown.
Warming up
Besides warming up on the course as described above, the following are great options for warming up:
Clubs can purchase tent space right on the course to use as a home base, warm-up, hang out. Tents will have easy access to the start and finish lines. Teams may purchase one or two 10x10 spots through BikeReg. Spaces are limited.
Restrooms
There are rest rooms available at event parking and at the race venue.
Continuing a Beverly tradition, GPBcx will host a free Kids Races & Parade between the Masters and Women's races. The parade is non-competitive and for all children. Just register near the start (for FREE).The races are also FREE. Register at the tent near the start line.
Misc Notes
This amazing venue is a gem and we are incredibly lucky to have access for this event. Please do not start organizing cross practices at Dane Street Beach, the park or at Lynch park. The parks and beach are heavily used by Beverly residents. There are plenty of North Shore areas more appropriate for training for this event. We really want the bike racing community to put their best foot forward.
Please be mindful when changing into/out of race clothing. City leaders expressed concern that participants all respect that this event takes place in a neighborhood park.
