This will be part two of the research rides for Bridgeport and Armour Square. Rides one and two divide the two communities in half, and consist of site inspection, photo documentation and notating of a wide variety of pre-determined sights. Part three examines missed sites, sites that are on-the-bubble, and starts working on route planning. Part four is the pre-ride, and involves tweaking the route for traffic flow and detours necessary to avoid bad road conditions, or improve the angle of entry on various sites.

Attendees of research rides can earn $5 off the price of admission to the paid rides, and can earn free rides by volunteering to be a ride marshal on the day of the event, in addition to the research ride participation. Research Rides are opportunities to address intersections and traffic flow concerns to future ride marshals.
