Bike MS Colorado Goes Virtual in 2020

Like many things in our lives, Bike MS: Colorado 2020 has transitioned to a virtual event.* So it's time to bring our Bee game, as we stay connected, share ideas and raise money for the critical programs that support those living with MS. Here's some details of this year's virtual ride.

Recruit New Riders: One of the benefits of a virtual ride? Not only is it free, it’s also open to everyone! No matter where they live, how old they are, or how much they cycle, anyone can join Team Sugar Bee as a Virtual Cyclist. You can register and fundraise until September 30, 2020.

No Fundraising Minimum: There's no fundraising minimum this year, but since MS doesn't stop, neither will we when it comes to raising funds to help those with MS. Here's a few incentives/ideas: 
 

• $400+ = 2020 Bike MS T-Shirt
• $500+ = T-Shirt & prize from HALO
• $1,000+ = all of the above and 2020 Top Fundraiser Throwback Jersey, marking 35 years of riding for a cure!
• $5,000+ = all of the above and can ride in any other Bike MS event free thru June 2021

Choose Your Ride: Riding virtually means you can create your own Bike MS event. You pick the when, where and how for your ride. Whether it’s a ride around the block or on your trainer, on the date of the ride (or whenever it’s convenient for you) put on your jersey and show us how you’re riding with Team Sugar Bee to end MS by using #VirtualBikeMS and #VirtualTeamSugarBee on social media to share photos and more.

Virtual Bike MS Hub: a virtual hub connecting you directly to virtual resources and ideas; updated regularly.
