REGISTRATION SITE CLOSING

ON WEDNESDAY!!

In order to prepare Bib Numbers and be ready to ride, we will be shutting down the on-line registration site at 5:00 PM on Wednesday, September 9th! 

If you need help registering before then please contact us at neparkinsonsride@gmail.com.  

If you do not register by Wednesday, your only option will be to register as a Walk-On at the ride on Saturday.  Registrations cannot be done on Friday night. 

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN AT 6:30 AM. 

If you are walking on, please be sure to have a credit card or check to cover your $45 registration fee (made out to the New England Parkinson's Ride) and a plan for your minimum fundraising requirement of $100.  Fundraising checks should be made out to the Michael J Fox Foundation.    

• Packet pick-up will be just outside the gates this year and will be done in alphabetical order.  You will receive your ride t-shirt and tickets for the after party cook-out at that time.  These cannot be replaced so please handle appropriately.

• Walk-ons will need to register at a separate table next to packet pick-up. Please allow plenty of time to complete forms and wait patiently in line. 

• Once you receive your packet, please secure your small bib number to the FRONT HANDLEBARS.  This is mandatory as we need to be able to pull these off as you come through the finish line! The back of the small bib number also has the Emergency Phone numbers for anyone who needs help along the route. 

• The matching large bib number must be pinned to the BACK OF YOUR SHIRT.  

• Maps and cue sheets will not be handed out at the ride! Roads will be well marked but please consider downloading the mapmyride app or printing your own copy of the cue sheets.   (There is also a separate map that was just created by one of our volunteers that includes information on reststops along each route. Please share this with family members who are hoping to see you along the way.)                         Maps and Cue Sheets 

Lastly, please review the Rules of the Road before arriving  on Saturday.  In particular, remember to ride in single file and if you need to pass a slower cyclist, pass on the left and always announce "on your left" so that no one is hurt.  Our top priority is keeping everyone safe.

CAN I CONTINUE TO RAISE 

MONEY AFTER THE RIDE? 

ABSOLUTELY!! Friends and family may continue to make donations to your personal page through December!  You may also continue to collect checks and mail them in as explained below.  

Although you have only committed to the minimum fundraising requirement of $100, we hope with all our hearts that you will do all you can to raise as much as possible to support the research necessary to find the cure!  And remember, you still have a chance to earn your VIP Gear! (See details under  Forms and Flyers)

WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH CHECKS? 

Checks should be made out to The Michael J Fox Foundation (or MJFF).  If you receive one made out to the New England Parkinson's Ride, please write "Payable to MJFF" on the back of the check.

List YOUR NAME AS THE CYLCLIST then list all checks with the donor names and addresses on the MJFF Tracking Form Forms and Flyers

Make a copy of the form and the checks.

Mail to the address on the form or bring to the ride in a sealed envelope.  If you bring it to the ride your name and total enclosed must be written on the outside of the envelope and you absolutely, positively, must complete the MJFF Donor Tracking Form!

Team Fox will credit these to your Personal Page approximately two weeks from the time received.  If you bring to the ride, please allow an additional two weeks for us to process and forward. 

If your donations do not appear on your Personal Page within a month, please email us at neparkinsonsride@gmail.com.
