HOW DO I PREPARE FOR THE RIDE?
Review both the Riders Manual as well as some training suggestions from our Lead Sheppard for information on how to prepare for the ride.
DO I HAVE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE TRAINING RIDES?
Maybe. If you have participated in the ride before, participation in the training rides is not mandatory. But, it is strongly encouraged. If this is your first ride, you must complete at least
2 group training rides and you are encouraged to participate in as many as possible. In the training rides you will learn important skills for riding in a large group and maintaining an even riding pace.
WHEN ARE THE TRAINING RIDES?
We have numerous group training rides scheduled both during the week and on weekends in the months leading up to the ride. All Riders are encouraged to attend at least one ride per weekend. The training ride schedule will be posted as soon as it's complete.
DO I HAVE TO RAISE MONEY IN ORDER TO RIDE?
Yes, one of the primary goals of the ride is to raise money for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children- New York Branch. Each rider\member of the Friends of Missing Children team must raise a minimum of $300 in donations in order to participate in the ride or recruit a new rider and you both ride for $250!
HOW DO I RAISE THE FUNDS?
When you register on line to reserve your spot in the ride, an on line donation page will be set up specifically for you! By sending potential donors a link to your fund raising page it will be easier than ever to meet your fund raising goal! In addition, please see the Fundraising Tips in the Riders Manual for other fund raising tips.
