2009 Reid's Ride Bike-a-thon Registration & Fund-raising Home Page

The 2009 Reid's Ride 28-mile Bike-a-thon will be held on Sunday morning, July 19, 2009.    This will be the FIFTH year for the Ride and we expect to be even bigger and better than last year's enormously successful event.   We've got some great sponsors and great prizes.

As always, we've made this event as affordable as possible.  But in these tough economic times, we need your help in spreading the word to get even more riders this year.  And we need you to reach out to more family and friends for donations to support your participation.  We can't ask more from our regular supporters, but we certainly find more supporters!

If you're having trouble registering from this page, give us a call at 978-314-6737 or 781-632-2025.

And like last year, use this site to create (or revise) your personal fund-raising page.  It takes just minutes, and is so easy to send to family and friends through email and Facebook.  If you participated in 2007 or 2008, there's a good chance we have a photo of you in the Reid's Ride photo albums on Flickr.  See the information below on how to get there.  Feel free to download any photo and upload it to your fund raising page.

Once again, if you are participating in the Pan Mass Challenge, you need only pay the registration fee to participate in Reid's Ride.  Consider it a warm-up for the PMC, and surround yourself with others as committed as you are to the fight against cancer--just on a smaller scale.
 
To check out the photos taken at the 2007 and 2008 events, go to the Resources box to the right, and click on "For more information about the Reid Sacco Memorial Foundation". Once there, go to the Bike-a-thon page, and click on the link to the photo album. It contains thousands of the event, including many individual and group shots of our riders and volunteers! 
 

If you don't have a bike but want to participate in the event, URBAN ADVENTOURS will be at the starting line again this year to rent you a bike, and to pick it up at the finish line.  BUT YOU NEED TO RESERVE A BIKE WITH THEM!!!  Contact them at 1 800 979 3370 and tell them you want to reserve a bike for Reid's Ride.  Or call Lorraine at 781-632-2035. 

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE RIDE, SUCH AS ROUTE DIRECTIONS, START TIMES, AND TRANSPORTATION, CLICK ON THE LINK IN THE BOX TO THE RIGHT.

 

Note:  You'll notice "Essex County Community Foundation" on this page and on the correspondence you'll receive about your registration or your donations.  ECCF manages the investment, tax-exempt, and administrative details of the "Reid Sacco Memorial Cancer Research Fund".  All proceeds from Reid's Ride are deposited to the Fund.  The Reid Sacco Memorial Foundation makes all decisions on which programs and projects are supported by the Fund.
