Additional Information
Bicyclists ride together as a team, escorted by local law enforcement keeping an average pace of 14-15 mph on the flat portions of the 100-mile Ride. Rest stops are arranged at schools along the route and riders participate in education programs at each school.
Imagine the impression made on the school children as they see 100 bicycle riders escorted by police cars with lights flashing! Riders in past years have told us that this is the most gratifying aspect of the Ride.
Riders are encouraged to train to ride the 100-mile route. Training rides are organized during the summer at various locations. Sag support is available for riders on event day and during training rides, as needed. Riders must be certified by the Ride Committee for safety.
Riders are required to raise a minimum of $500 each! The donations you raise support the mission of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children/New York Branch (NCMEC/NY).
