The Bresnan Bike Tour

The CycleAbility Challenge Bike Tour (formerly The Bresnan Bike Tour) is an ambitious two-day, 200-mile bicycle tour from Patterson, New York to Kingston, NY. The ride is approximately 100 miles on both Saturday and Sunday (totaling 200 miles), The Tour is comparatively small in scope and participation ( averaging 75 - 100 riders), but stellar in its stature and impact. The route is picturesque and demanding. The accommodations and support are first-class. And those who participate are an electric group who share a common desire to benefit others.

Each rider is obligated to raise a minimum of $1,000 in pledges. All riders must post a $400 donation commitment fee to hold their place in the ride. We prefer to hold a credit card number and will be taking that information at the Pedal-Off reception, 2010 Date TBD, (Snow date is the day after). If a rider has to cancel their participation in the ride after the March 15th commitment date, they will forfeit the $400. If the rider participates in the event and fails to raise the minimum $1,000 required, the remainder owed will be charged to their credit card (unless other arrangements have been made). If you participate in the ride and raise the $1,000 nothing will be charged to your credit card. We also expect riders to make an effort to have their funds raised by the date of the first start date.

The tax-deductible pledges support Special Olympics New York-Hudson Valley Region.
