Cost to Ride: Free! We do highly encourage you to use this ride as an opportunity to fundraise in support of Wrestling MS. The money raised for this event will support Wrestling MS and our mission to put people with MS on bikes and on the road to a better life. You’re also welcome to make a small donation to Wrestling MS to help support our Fall FUNdraiser when you register (this will help cover our costs of breakfast, lunch, snacks and drinks, t-shirts, etc. AND, of course, help us put more people on bikes!)
