Training & Safety

User Options:

We wouldn’t ask you to ride up to 100 miles if we weren’t prepared to help you do it. This section includes all that you need to know to train for the event, including training programs and rides to get you out on the road.

Besides the materials included on this website, our bike shop partners are another great resource to help you as you train and prepare. Be sure to visit one of these shops in the months leading up to the ride to make sure you have everything you need to be safe and comfortable on the ride.
