Reserve Breast Pump Transportation for Ride Weekend
Pelotonia hopes to ease the logistical burden on nursing parent participants by transporting pumps from the Rider’s start venue to finish venue.
Pumps will be transported from the First Aid station at the start line to the First Aid station at the finish line.
Pumps will be tagged with name, cell number, and route. They will also be tagged with an Apple AirTag and monitored by Pelotonia staff to ensure accurate delivery.
If you would like to use the equipment transportation service, advance registration is required. Please complete this form by Friday, July 24!
