Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any rules at The Backroad Ball?
Don't worry, there aren't many rules... We have just a few:
* No dudes (sorry guys)
* No 'tudes
* No glass
* Wear your helmet
* No drinking and riding!
* The private home onsite is off-limits. Please be respectful to the owner's property so he'll let us party here next year. ️
Just so everyone is aware: There may be a small number of men who will be there as volunteers to help things run smoothly, however, if all goes well you won't even notice them and they will be off-site when not performing their specific duties.
Not sure if something is cool? Just ask!

It depends on your budget & preference!

The weekend is a BYOB, however, we will have our sponsors Beach Chair Lager & SCOW Craft Cider on site Saturday evening providing samples to attendees as in previous years.

What if I don't want to camp at The Backroad Ball?
There are options for you!
The Timberland Motel and Pinecone Motel (the two closest) are both fully booked but there are a number of hotels in Sussex which is approximately a 15 minute ride away.
As in previous years we are hoping to have a shuttle from both The Timberland Motel & Pinecone Motel... Pinecone is confirmed & as soon we get confirmation from Timberland we will update this as well.
