Tour de Cure isn’t just a ride—it’s an experience from start to finish. As soon as you arrive and gear up, you’ll feel the buzz in the air. Depending on your route, you’ll check in, grab a bite to eat, and get ready to roll. Then after the ride, it’s time to kick back, soak it all in, and celebrate big—because every mile you ride makes a difference, and that’s something worth partying for.

Throughout the day, you’ll feel the sense of community and the shared drive to make a difference. And when you cross that finish line, it’s not just about completing the ride—it’s about the lives you’ve touched, the stories you’re now part of, and the celebration of something truly meaningful.
