WHAT IS BIKE FOR THE Y?

The best cycle-a-thon (with a twist) event ever! This FUN-raising event will raise awareness and dollars for the YMCA’s Open Arms Annual Campaign. Your 4 team members will pool miles on stationary bikes to reach your maximum total miles (your 5th team member, your coach, will cheer you along and can be used as a substitute). Each team member will cover different distances according to their ability, but it’s not entirely about the riding, it’s about the fun roadblocks along the way! We encourage teams to pick a theme and dress up. The most festive and widely creative team will win a best-dressed prize! There will also be a prize for the most money raised per team! As a team, you will encounter random roadblocks. Roadblocks will be “Amazing Race” style challenges including puzzles, music, coordination, teamwork games and so much more. When a challenge is completed, the team rides again. Your team will have one hour to complete the event! Join us for Bike with the Y and see what all the excitement is about!
