Dine O’side, Bike the Coast’s finish festival, will take place at the Oceanside Pier, and feature local food and drinks, live rock music performed by Gone Blonde Band and a beer garden hosted by BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse and Presented by Ride MS.

It really is an event for everyone, with courses for the more experienced riders and routes that are fit for the whole family,” said Mike Bone, President and CEO of Spectrum Sports Management, which produces Bike The Coast. “On top of putting together a great bike ride for our participants, we also really focus on our post-race Finish Festival to ensure that riders have a great place to cool down and enjoy themselves after touring our beautiful area.”
