If you guys are in the Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York area:
Ride the Tri-State Trek: a 270 mile bike ride to end ALS.
Anyone can do this ride! People that would not consider themselves capable of riding a bike 270 miles have trained for, and ridden, the Tri-State Trek. Many have had their lives changed by the experience. You need two things to ride the Trek:
1) The desire to make a difference in ALS
2) A commitment to train and fundraise
Trek Riders are moms from Colorado and New York businessmen. Bike messengers from Boston ride with college students from New Jersey. Our youngest rider was 17, our oldest was 67. Some riders will pass within a few miles of their houses on the ride, others will come from as far as California and Washington! The link all TST cyclists share is that we understand that we have the power to affect change.
-Ride Support
The course is well-marked and completely supported. Riders travel at their own pace and support vehicles patrol our route. We carry all your gear. Bike technicians are available should you need assistance. There is Medical Staff patrolling the route and at Rest Stops and Overnight Stops.
-Rest Stops
Rest Stops are positioned every 15-20 miles. There are 4 Rest Stops each day, and each Rest Stop is stocked with snacks, fruit, water, sports drink and more. A full lunch is setup at around mile 50.
-Food
From the time you arrive at Check-in on Friday morning until you leave White Plains on Sunday afternoon we will keep you well fed and well hydrated! Beginning with breakfast on Friday morning through lunch on Sunday we’ll provide all meals, drinks and snacks. Sam Adams even provides the beer!
-Lodging
We provide overnight accommodations at college dormitories on Friday and Saturday night.
