Welcome to the ride of a lifetime, Rookie! If you’re looking for an opportunity to drive lasting, life-changing breakthroughs, you’ve come to the right place. We couldn’t be happier to have you here.

First Time Riders

First-time riders can earn a FREE ROOM for one night at the Penn Stater when they raise $300 by May 10. Bring a friend to rise and room together to get both nights FREE at the Penn Stater. (Both first-time participants need to meet the $300 fundraising requirement by May 10.) 

 

Thank YOU for Riding!

Things I Wish I Knew My First Year at Bike MS
(Tips from our Veteran Riders)

Group of people smiling and stretching

  1. Attend the Pre-event Logistics Meeting. This will set you up for success leading up to your ride and include an overview of event details and how to stay safe on the road, as well as an opportunity to connect with other cyclists and teams. Check out the Ride Details page for info.
     
  2. Bike MS is not just one event weekend! It’s a welcoming community with season-round opportunities to connect. Attend in-person events to meet AWESOME Bike MS staff and fellow riders and your ride weekend will feel like a family reunion — minus the drama! Visit the Ride Details page for upcoming pre-ride events.
     
  3. Fundraising doesn’t have to be overwhelming—there are so many resources like the Bike MS App and Facebook Fundraising to make our lives easy! We promise, the Fundraising Toolkit page of the website will be your new best friend.  
     
  4. Did we mention the swag?! The more you raise, the more lives you change and the more prizes you can earn! PLUS, if you’re one of our top fundraisers this season, you can flaunt the most coveted item of all: a local Club K prize jersey! Check out the Clubs & Incentives page for the fundraising levels and prizes.
     
  5. Start training now. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or new to the sport, VeloPro, the official training partner of Bike MS will get you ready to tackle your ride like a champ.  VeloPro learns about you, your goals and schedule and then creates a training plan that continuously adapts to your performance. 
     
  6. Padded shorts are NOT overrated—your butt will thank you later! 
     
  7. Make sure you check out the Ride Details page where you’ll find info like the event schedule and routes and maps. Or better yet, bookmark that page and check back often! All key event day info lives there.

See you at the finish line!
