Participate In All or Part of The 12-Hour Bike Ride
Time: 6am - 6pm
Tyler from Biked Goods is going to be out riding his bike for 12 hours to help raise awareness and money for these organizations. His goal is to get in as many laps as possible during the 12-hour timeframe.
Whether you want to do your own 12-hour ride challenge or come up with your own ride, the choice is YOURS. Each route type combines some of the most fun, flowy singletrack in Summit County, including a hot lap (or two) at Wellington Park, Side Door/Backdoor and Barney Flow/B-Line.
While guaranteed to be a TON of fun and a RAD ride no matter which route you take, this is also meant to be a physical and mental challenge. This means plenty of good climbing, sweat, grit and determination will be needed to complete your route(s).
The way I personally look at it: It's a gift for me to be able to wake up each day, eat good food, get out and ride my bike and reap the benefits of everything that it provides me. Not everyone is as fortunate as myself in that regard. I know there are others out there fighting food insecurity or a mental health challenge in life which will be far harder for them to face than I will be during this 12-hour ride. The least I can do is ride a few laps on my bike to help support them.
12-Hour Ride Routes
Below is a suggested list of routes and donations to make per lap to our fundraising page. Ride one lap, combine two or more lap routes together, or see how many laps of a certain route you can get in within a certain timeframe. Set a GOAL for yourself or with a team and share your accomplishments with us on our Fundraising page and tag us on our social accounts. #FuelingTheFuture
