Registration for 2022 is open!

I managed to get my files set up early, so I decided to open registration earlier than I expected. The registration process is different for 2022 – I am using Ride Master to handle the records this time. Navigate over to the Rules & Registration page (link at top of website) and review the rules. If you are interested in participating, click the Register button at the bottom of the page and you will be directed to the correct page on Ride Master.

Cost for 2022 is $22. I am again asking for a totally optional donation tot he YMCA – it will show up as one of the fees in the registration process, and if you desire to donate, just select the amount and add it to your total. We raised over $1,750 last year through these donations and my local YMCA was very appreciative of our efforts!

If you are a returning rider from 2021 and register before February 28th, I will assign you the same number. If you are a new rider, your number won’t be assigned until early March.

2022 Plans!

Quick answer to the most common question – yes, we plan to do this again in 2022! I am already planning locations in out of the way places and hope to provide an enjoyable group of options to get you out and about next year.

Some updates planned for 2022:

  • I am planning to have the registration page active at the end of December. Stay tuned!
  • Returning riders who register early (date TBD) will be able to request their 2021 rider number. I need to cut it off at some point to make sure flag orders can be sent and received in time for mailing.
  • Entry fee will remain affordable. I am still looking at planned prices, and believe the entry fee will stay close to $20.
  • I am choosing to not accept mail in registrations and payments this year. You will have to register online, and pay via PayPal (you do not have to have an active PayPal account to do this).
  • I am setting up a discussion board on the web site for riders to use to ask questions, share stories and just interact. This is a first step in my plan to make Facebook less of a part of the tour. I am testing it now with a few people and hope to make it active at the end of the year.
  • I am thinking about providing the option to purchase a tee shirt with the rally logo on it. Just need to sort out prices and delivery timelines. I should have an answer about the same time registration goes live.
  • Finally, I am hoping that health guidelines allow us to have a mid-season get-together to meet and greet and share stories. If we are able to pull it together, there will be a small price (in addition to registration) to help defray food and beverage costs.

As always, I am always open to suggestions – send me a message using the contact page on this web site.

I hope your holiday season is blessed!
