$3.99?  The (not so) fine print:

BikeReg will charge you $46.09 ($42.10 + $3.99 service fee) and after you check in on race day, you’ll be refunded $42.10 or you can opt in to donate your reg fees to our friends at Pedal it Forward…  They bring bikes and smiles to people in need right here in our community.  Donations help go towards buying parts and new bikes. Check out their website to find out how you can donate your used bikes, money or your time:  https://www.pedalitforward.org/give.html

Why are we doing this?  We have a limited number of spots and want to make sure we can get as many people who want to be at the event- at the event.  You know how it goes, if its FREE there’s no obligation to show up…….so, if it’s a bit too chilly for you the morning of race day or perhaps you made some bad choices the night before and don’t show up-you won’t be refunded.  But check in on race day and you’ll be refunded $42.10.

*Transfer to another rider or change your category:   Find someone who wants your spot and transfer your registration to them or change your category by clicking on the “Edit My Entry” button at the top of the reg page.  Last day for changes:  Friday, 2/27/26 @ Noon.
