Pedal for Purpose Challenge
sign-up page
Pedal for a purpose!
Calling all RCC supporters! We are excited to announce our next upcoming fundraiser, the Pedal for Purpose Challenge!
We are asking participants to donate a dollar for every mile they ride during the weekend of August 16th and 17th. It’s that simple! Whether you’re an experienced bike racer looking for base miles or just starting out, you can choose a donation amount that matches your cycling goals.
Here’s how to join in the fun:
First things first, start a fundraiser for RCC here as your commitment to the cause. This is your own personal pledge page (you don’t have to fundraise if you don't want to!) - and where you’ll make your donation at the end of the weekend. If you want to make your donation go further, you can share your fundraiser with your friends, family, coworkers, and network and encourage them to match your pledge or donate to your fund.
If you have a planned ride or race, sign up for your expected miles! Need some inspiration for a ride? We have some great group ride options for you.
We’re in the process of mapping these rides, but will list them here with meet time and location, as well as mileage goals and paces expected. Look for:
-Capital Trail big miles, with potential for a shuttle back from Williamsburg
-A gravel grinder city loop
-A fun, friendly road ride
and more!
