Fill your team  
Each bike registered to your team can have between four and eight riders, so invite friends, family members, and colleagues to join you. Plus, the more people on your team, the more you’ll raise together!  

Earn Cycle for Survival x Vuori fundraising gear  
Earn exclusive Cycle for Survival gear thanks to Vuori, our Official Performance Apparel Sponsor. Unlock new gear by reaching per bike average (PBA) fundraising milestones. Your team’s PBA is your total fundraising amount divided by the number of bikes registered to your team. 

Check in 
When you arrive, you’ll check in, find out what bike number(s) are assigned to your team, and pick up a T-shirt or tank top.  

The ride 
Each four-hour ride is broken up into one-hour segments that kick off with a powerful speech from a member of our community, followed by 50 minutes of Equinox instructor-led cycling. Team captains are responsible for assigning specific ride times to team members.  

Other activities 
Stop by the photo booth for a team picture, write a message honoring a loved one on the tribute wall, and enjoy food and drinks from our sponsors, including Essentia® Ionized Alkaline Water and Essentia® Hydroboost from our Official Hydration Sponsor, Essentia®. 

Keep up the momentum  
Fundraising pages will remain open through April 15, 2025, so you can keep pushing for donations even after event day.  

Don’t forget to say thanks 
You’ll lose access to your participant center on April 15, 2025, so save any donor contact information you need so you can thank people for supporting your ride.   

Share the energy 
Look out for an email from us with a link to a photo album from your ride. Send photos to loved ones and post them on social media using @cycleforsurvival.
