What is included in your registration?

Your $56 Ride Day registration gets you everything you need for a fun, supported day on the bike. You’ll start the ride with coffee and donuts, have access to aid stations and SAG (support and gear) assistance along the route. At the finish line, enjoy pizza and refreshments to celebrate your ride and pick up some fun Bird to Bird swag.

Your registration also supports a great cause. After covering event expenses, all remaining funds go directly to Gunnison Trails and CBMBA. In addition, 100% of all funds raised through fundraising efforts are donated to these organizations to help maintain and improve our local trail systems.
