Train & Fundraise

The Bike MS experience kicks off as soon as you register with training and fundraising.

Routes vary from 15 to 150 miles, with some rides being one or multi-days. Training for the ride is a rewarding and fun experience with support from the Bike MS community:

• Check out our training program, powered by VeloPro, to get a custom training plan that will hep you crush the finish line. VeloPro is an adaptive AI-driven platform that will adjust and customize your training plan to your needs.
• Check out the Bike MS training guide and Zwift training rides to get you ready for the ride.
• Many rides have local group training rides so you can train and connect with other cyclists

All rides have a fundraising minimum that powers our mission to end MS forever. We’ll help you reach your fundraising goals and stay motivated with challenges and incentives:

• Earn special local Bike MS jerseys as a testament to your hard work
• Qualify for exclusive fundraising clubs and levels
• Challenge yourself with fundraising contests leading up to the ride (because who doesn’t like some friendly competition?)
• Be supported with tons of fundraising tools, like videos and ideas/tips
