Cycle for the Cause 2022
275 miles
Thursday, September 15, 2022
Hi everyone,
I am organizing an OutCyling team for Cycle for the Cause this September. Cycle for the Cause is a three day, 275 mile AIDS awareness fundraising ride that starts in Boston and ends in New York City.
Dates:
September 15th - travel day to Boston
September 16th to 18th: riding days
Details about the ride can be found here:
https://cycleforthecause.org/about-the-ride/
You can register here:
https://support.gaycenter.org/?language=en
During registration it will ask you if you want to join a team, select yes and then look for "OutCycling New York."
Registration will fill up pretty quickly so I encourage you to sign up soon if you want to ride. It's a great ride for a great cause and has the added bonus of being right in our backyard.
About the ride:
1. This ride is fully supported. The ride provides transportation to Boston, secure transportation and storage for your bike during the ride, and food and accomodations during the ride.
2. It's ok not to finish the full distance each day. If you run out of steam you can call for support and they will take you to the next hotel.
3. Each participant under 30 has to raise at least 2,000 dollars and each participant over 30 has to raise 2,750 dollars. As a team we can work together to help each other reach the minimum.
4. You can sign up now and withdraw as the ride gets closer if it all of a sudden doesn't work for you. You will most likely lose the 95 dollar registration fee.
Other notes:
1. I will organize an info session at some point in the next 2-3 weeks for those interested.
2. Now is a good time to start thinking about this ride so you can plan your spring and summer riding schedule accordingly. I encourage everyone to spend a few weekends this summer doing rides on back to back days so you can condition your body to the ride. 275 miles over three days means an average of 92 miles each day.
3. All riders at all speeds are welcome as long as you feel reasonably confident in your ability to adequately prepare for the ride. You won't be alone out there - there are enough folks that sign up for this ride that you will always have someone riding a similar pace to you.
