Registration for The Ride
The last day for the registration for The Ride is this Friday Februrary 29, 2008. The Ride event is held at the Lakes Mall in Muskegon, Michigan.
The Ride is a unique event on Saturday, March 15, 2008 geared to get everyone’s legs and hearts pounding! Forty five teams of eight cyclists – riding bicycles mounted on trainers-will race in 25-minute intervals for a chance to win serious cycling and lighthearted awards.
Form a Team – Anyone can form a team consisting of eight members and one alternate. Each team must provide one bike (exercise cycles are not allowed) to be mounted on a trainer. Each team member will ride for 25 minutes. Participants will receive refreshments and a commemorative gift. The entry fee is $400 per team, just $50 per rider. Some teams ask an area business or company to sponsor their team! Team registration deadline is February 29, 2008 (late registration will be accepted as space allows).
