Who is welcome at Limitless?

This event is open to individuals aged 18 and older who feel most comfortable in women-centered spaces.

Will men be allowed onsite or as participants?

This is a women-only event, so men are not permitted to participate in the rides or activities. However, men will be present onsite in volunteer and support roles throughout the weekend. You’ll see them helping at various areas of the festival to ensure everything runs smoothly.

Can friends, family, or non-participants purchase tickets to Saturday evening events or other portions of the weekend?

Yes! We are not renting out or reserving Taco Mac for this event, so your friends, family, and non-participants are welcome to join us for the social.

What food options are available?

Saturday evening we’re hosting a catered dinner, RSVP required to attend. During the day, food trucks will be onsite for breakfast and lunch. If you have dietary restrictions, or just want to be safe in case the food trucks aren’t available, we’d recommend coming prepared with your own food as backup.

Food truck purchases are not included with registration, so plan accordingly if you’d like to grab breakfast or lunch on site. The only meal provided at Limitless is the Saturday night dinner.

Are meals included in the event fee?

The only meal included in the event fee is the catered dinner on Saturday night. All other meals will be the responsibility of the participants.

What skill levels are the group rides designed for, and what can I expect on a group ride?

We’ve got group rides for every level. You came out to experience Oak Mountain State Park’s trail system, and that’s exactly what we want these rides to be about — exploring the park at a relaxed, party pace.

All guided group rides are no-drop, and we’ll stop at intersections along the way to make sure nobody gets left behind. Think of it less as a race and more as a social ride, a chance to meet new people and enjoy the day together at an easier pace.

Will there be parking near the event?

On-site parking space is limited. We strongly encourage you to carpool when possible. There are many parking areas throughout the park and some within a short bike ride away. If you park on the side of the main road, ensure your entire vehicle is completely out of the bike lane to prevent ticketing.

When do I need to show up for my skills clinic?

You must show up 10 minutes early to the designated clinic pick up area ready to ride and learn. This means helmet, shoes, water bottle, etc. ready to go as soon as the instructor calls your group. Given the tight schedule, we will not have time to wait for participants to get ready. If you are not ready or are not at the pickup area 10 minutes early, you run the risk of forfeiting your spot.

How do I sign up for a group ride?

When you registered, you let us know you were interested in group rides, that helped us figure out how many leads we’d need. Sign-ups happen the day of each ride and spots are limited, so it’s first come first served.

Do I need to sign up for Trailside Talks?

Nope, no sign-up needed. Trailside Talks are open to everyone. Seating is limited, so feel free to bring your own chair or just stand.

Who do I contact during the festival if I need help?

For medical emergencies requiring emergency services, please dial 911.

For minor injuries not requiring emergency medical services, mechanical issues, etc., please call Chase at 256-486-4184 or the park office at 205-620-2520.
