The only way to guarantee a start in Wave 1 of the Tour is to register as a VIP, a Bike New York Member, or a Charity rider. All other Standard riders will be placed in Waves 2 through 6, with consideration given to your start time preference.
Proceeds from the Tour fund our free bicycle education programs as well as our advocacy work to create safer and more inclusive bike infrastructure in New York City. In 2022, we taught bike riding and bike safety skills in person and in our virtual classroom to more than 20,000 kids and adults.
Note that some subway stations do not accommodate bikes. The MTA requests that participants do not bring bikes on the L/M/G trains. Visit www.mta.info for customized travel directions using TripPlanner, or call the MTA for more information by dialing 511. Check the schedule for changes as Tour day approaches.
Ride the PMC and join the mission to raise funds for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Register as a PMC weekend, Reimagined, or Virtual Rider with 100% of every rider-raised dollar goes directly to Dana-Farber.

The Pan-Mass Challenge is a Massachusetts-based bike-a-thon that raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country. Always held the first weekend in August, the PMC raises funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a world leader in adult and pediatric cancer treatment and research
Hear the story of how PMC Founder Billy Starr turned personal loss into the creation of a world-class athletic fundraising event and the birth of the "a-thon" industry from the first $10,000 to the cusp of $1 billion raised for cancer research.
OK, let me back up. I lived in Iowa for about four years, working as a visual journalist and photo editor at the Des Moines Register. I helped share countless stories about inspiring people and places across the state. Iowans, like most Americans in the communities I've lived in, are overall good people.
Yet many of them seem to lose their minds the last week in July when they decide that traveling from one side of the state to the other on a bicycle is a good way to spend the week. And they do. In droves. Getting up early, partying late, filling the streets of rural Iowa towns along the way and then doing it all again the next day.

Griffin, who said this is his seventh time on the ride, said he and other members of his team, Giraffe's Up In The Air, wear the eye-catching costumes to draw attention to their fundraising efforts for children's cancer research.

The Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, or RAGBRAI, bills itself as the "oldest, largest and longest recreational bicycle touring event in the world." The yearly tradition was started by two columnists at the Register. It went from a group of a few friends in 1973 to more than 18,000 registered riders this year.
I've covered parts of the ride in previous years, both on a bike and in a car. I completed the entire week-long, 427-mile ride in 2019 as part of NPR's biking team, No Pie Refused. It is quite a feat. Parts of the ride are insanely beautiful, everyone is extremely welcoming and there's so much pie to be eaten along the way.
Alex Brooks of Minneapolis, Minn., (left) and Tim Connors of Robinsdale, Minn., eat slices of pie Tuesday, July 26, during a pit stop in Rolfe, Iowa. Connors said they were trying to eat a different slice of pie every day, with strawberry rhubarb, a childhood favorite, ranking as his top slice so far. "That's because the key ingredient in pie is nostalgia," Connors quipped. Michael Zamora/NPR hide caption
The experience has a way of immersing you in its roving community of rabid cycling enthusiasts, whether you're actually riding on two wheels or not. As someone who rode out the pandemic in the hyper-vigilant city of Washington, D.C. (where I am still required to wear a mask in the office), being back in Iowa felt like I was transported to another place and time.
Cell phone reception is spotty at best, making it even easier to disconnect from the outside world. The seemingly chaotic news cycle disappears. And everyone seems more concerned about whether the grilled-cheese vendor will be in the next town on the route than the latest COVID or Monkeypox numbers.
It's all very exhausting. But in a lot of ways, extremely comforting, too. Many riders use the week to reconnect with family and friends. Gary Burger, a 75-year-old from West Des Moines, Iowa, talked about how he doesn't get to spend much time with his grandchildren these days as they start to go off to college. He was in the middle of a 105-mile day, riding with his 21-year-old grandson, Aaron, as his wife drives the motor home they stay in at night. What a way to reconnect.

Gary Burger said he was riding with his three grandchildren and his wife. "It's just a lot of fun and gives us a chance to talk," he said. Michael Zamora/NPR hide caption
A group pf riders makes their way through the early morning fog Wednesday, July 28, as they make their way out of Emmetsburg, Iowa, on Day 4 of RAGBRAI. Riders travelled more than 100 miles that day, completing a "century ride" in honor of one of the ride's late co-founders, John Karras, who died late last year. Michael Zamora/NPR hide caption
They came from around the Pacific Northwest and as far away as Germany to participate in one of the largest big group rides in the nation, pedaling 206 miles from Seattle to Portland on July 15 and 16 in a celebration of bicycling, friendship, family, fitness, community, and fun.
The 2023 Kaiser Permanente Seattle to Portland Presented by Alaska Airlines will enter the record books as the most inclusive and welcoming in STP's 44-year history. Among the participants were more than 50 STP Ambassadors and our Affinity Bike Club Partners representing a wide array of racial backgrounds, body types, gender identities, and physical abilities.
Riders set out before dawn on Saturday from Husky Stadium and crossed the University Bridge, passing over Lake Union and the houseboat communities below. Pedaling through Seattle while most of the city sleeps is a unique and beautiful experience.
Everyone who registers for STP supports Cascade Bicycle Club's bike advocacy, education, and community building initiatives. Many groups ride STP as a way to support their causes. Gruppetto Cycling fielded a large team in support of the Foundation for Philippine Progress alongside other bike clubs with riders of Filipino heritage.
ASHA for Education, which supports educational opportunity and rural socioeconomic development in India, fielded a team of 55 STP riders this year. Next year they hope to field a team of more than 100!
Cascade engages hundreds of volunteers to make STP happen, from Outriders, to medic riders, to volunteers who check bags and staff rest stops. This event could not happen without them and we salute their volunteerism. Below, a baggage truck volunteer helps load bags bound for Chehalis.
Did you miss out on STP? You're in luck because RSVP, the Ride from Seattle to Vancouver and Party, is coming up on Aug. 26-27. Register here before Aug. 13 to do this 191-mile, fully supported, two-day ride with a layover in Bellingham (and a party in Vancouver, B.C.).
Ok so I was just scrolling through the website checking out pictures and vids etc.. and came across a 77 yr old rider that entered a race. I was thinking how cool that was . Anyone out there older and riding? ..or know of guys that are older and riding ?This is the oldest guy I've seen that rides and entered a race.
When I was 39 and living in Pennsylvania, I had just started racing. There was a 73 year old that I raced with in hare scrambles that was a very good and consistent rider. When I was riding over my head and crashing too much in a couple of races he actually beat me. Very inspirational.
I took a few years break from riding and came back to riding. My Dad was already in his 60's and still very fast and smooth.I could keep up and pass him but he was no slouch . He was a lot faster than a lot of the others in the group and he was way older. His technique was great.. steady..and not many mistakes. I remember he won in one race for over 50 class first, He won his under 200 class and he placed 5th overall if I remember right.3 trophies.. Now that I'm in my mid 50's I'm realizing how good a shape he had to be and how hard that is to achieve. He.rode well till he was around 67..then he has had some medical issues..heart ... That made it better to not be in the mountains away from fast emergency care. He still rides harley and rides mountain bike..on the road where he feels he can handle it and golfs . Seemingly the trick is to do what you can but not overdo it so you can do it as long as possible. He's been a good model to follow for me. Hey it's Fathers Day.. I gotta call him. 152ee80cbc
