Registration & fundraising: Each cyclist will pay a registration fee and is responsible for raising $200 to benefit the National MS Society. The fundraising minimum of $200 must be received before a cyclist can pick-up his or her rider packet.
Here is our commitment to you:
- We will provide you with multiple scenic and well supported route options.
- We will hold your hand every step of the way through the fundraising process (or rest a supportive hand on your shoulder, if you're not a hand-holding kind of guy/gal) by providing a personal fundraising webpage and online tools, sample fundraising letters, fundraising recognition and prizes, a monthly e-newsletter, and an updated website with tips and ideas! Visit our fundraising page.
- We will provide you with cool training tools like Training Peaks, training rides with local bike shops, and information on how to climb any pesky hills you might encounter.
- We will provide you with free Boulevard beer and a family-friendly party atmosphere at the finish line on Saturday.
- We will provide you with well stocked rest stops along the route, so you're never without snacks for too long.
- We will provide you with lunch, dinner options on Saturday and if you stay for Sunday, we provide a free breakfast and lunch. And it will be delicious.
- With the support of our Bike Shop partners, we will keep your bike running through the weekend (but please come prepared to make your own minor repairs).
- We will provide safety training info with rules of the road and cycling etiquette.
- We, along with volunteers and family and friends, will be there to cheer you on as you cross the finish line! After all, we are your biggest fans!
