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 can 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. Your fundraising page works with FaceBook, and will remain active until September.
If you don't have a bike but want to participate in the event, URBAN ADVENTOURS/Boston Bicycles Tours and Rentals will be at the starting line again this year to rent you a bike, and to pick it up at the finish line. They have waived the delivery charge for us!! BUT YOU NEED TO RESERVE A BIKE WITH THEM!!! Contact them at 617 670 0637. Or call Lorraine at 781-632-2025.
About Teams: The purpose of establishing or joining a team is to build a team-spirit around your participation, to pool your collective efforts in fund-raising, and to share the obligation to raise money for this event. When a team's contributions to the event from both registration fees and fund-raising (sponsorships, pledges, etc) are totalled, it is expected that each rider's registration fee and minimum should be covered the $50 registration fee and the minimum $125 in sponsorship donations are covered.

We are again honored to be participating in the The Team Sarcoma Initiative, joining 10,000 participants worldwide promoting sarcoma awareness and research http://www.team-sarcoma.net/tag/massachusetts. International Sarcoma Awareness Week starts July 18. Sarcoma is particularly common among the cancers striking young adults and is difficult to treat. A sarcoma took Reid's life in 2005.
