Bootyville is Partyville and Nest is Best

Bootyville is Partyville 😊    Now it’s 24 Nest is Best!

24 Hours of Booty grew up this year and became the 24 Foundation – seems some business executives don’t like to write a check out for Booty.  Ummm, explain that one to the IRS <giggles>

Which means that 24 Hours of Booty is now the 24 Foundation and Bootyville is now the “24 Nest”  Man, adulting bites ☹ 

What does that mean for the folks that live in 24 Nest for one weekend a year?  Well, other than the name change not much.  Turns out everything that was great about Bootyville is just the same in the 24 Nest.

 24 Foundation Baltimore and the 24 Nest is designed for a “FAMILY” atmosphere.  When you arrive you’ll see lots of tents, canopies, lots of kids, people riding all sorts of bicycles and unicycles, blowup slide and obstacle course, and a tent for DJ and live music. 

When you check out the course, you’ll find you’re being cheered on by supporters that were positioned around the 2 mile lap.  The loudest group of course was close the finish line and they did an amazing job giving everyone applause and screams for every lap.


If you’re into bikes – there’s everything under the sun there – road bikes, mountain bikes, commuters, folding bikes, trikes, recumbents, fat bikes, skinny bikes…bikes, bikes, bikes! BIKES!

This year the venue moved from Columbia to Baltimore – specifically to the Johns Hopkins Homewood Campus.  The 24 Foundation and Johns Hopkins did it right – they nestled the 24 Nest right into one of the green spaces giving it a nice cozy feeling that really made the space.

The layout made everything super convenient with every close by – food, hydration, music, bathrooms, the check-in tables and loot of course.

Parking – OMG – Parking!  Parking is at a premium in Baltimore and Johns Hopkins made their parking garage available to the participants. The parking garage is essentially right under the green space we were nesting upon and it was sooo convenient.

If that wasn’t enough Johns Hopkins students were volunteering at the event and were on-hand to unload cars and get your gear to the 24 Nest. Talk about service with a smile. 

In summary 24 Hr booty is a great family event that anyone can enjoy.  We’re already gaming out our plan of attack for next year – more people, more money, better tent set-up with more things to do in our non-riding time.  We can even set up activities at the Varen Techology tent for anyone who would prefer to relax and socialize. (cornhole, ladder game, etc).

Hope to see you guys at next years event
