The Ride-to-Remember XV promises to again, be the best Charity Bicycle Ride in New England!

This year we are dedicating the R2R to the heroes of the 9-11 tragedy. This year will be the 25th Anniversary of 9-1,1 and we will be stopping at three 9-11 Memorials.

We will be starting again this year from Main & Boland Way in the middle of downtown Springfield. We will be escorted by 35 Police Officers on motorcycles. The group of riders will stay together in one big peloton, you'll never have to clip out of your pedals till we reach our rest-stops. Speaking of rest-stops … Our first official rest-stop will be the New England Air Museum in Windsor Locks, CT. They are rolling out the red carpet for us with a 911 theme.

There are three amazing rest stops along our scenic, New England, 75 mile route. Bike mechanics following us, if you get a flat, we fix it in minutes free of charge. You will be fed breakfast, lunch andf dinner. There is a huge after-party immediatley following the ride at Tower Square in downtown Springfield. We will have a great headlining band to dance and celebrate after you shower, steam, or sauna right inside Tower Square. If you're sore during the ride, we have licesnsed masseueses at the rest stops.

You will be provided with a link to order your Official Ride-to-Remember Bicycle Jersey soon.

We take care of you the entire day … From free parking, bike support, awesome swag, food, hydration and an amazing route! After this ride you will thank the organizers for a very memorable day.

(The 2026 course will be pretty darn close to this, but we have to see exactly where
this year's weird moto dirt piles are before we can say this is the exact course map)

49% of extremely biased twitteratti agree: this race is basically the World Championships

Hey, you probably noticed from the category names that this isn't a USAC sanctioned event. If you can't figure out what field to register for, the answer is either "Beginner" or "Singlespeed." Or you can always email us any questions using the "contact event" link above.

What's with the name?:

It's a combination of this and that.

Who races when?? How do I win money?
- Jedi Men and Jedi 40+ Men will race together (1 start) with 40+ denoted in results. Shared prize list of $500 with $100 bonus cash for 40+.
- Jedi Women and Jedi 40+ Women will race together (1 start) with 40+ denoted in results. Shared prize list of $500 with $100 bonus cash for 40+

What's new this year?

We have a food truck (Thai Chili)!

There's a bunch of new weird motocross lines and piles of dirt to play with! We don't know exactly how we're going to use it all yet, but we do know it's gonna be good.

What's your inclusivity policy?

Ice Weasels is a celebration of cyclocross that everyone should feel welcome to be a part of. Athletes are encouraged to show up and and race as their authentic selves in whatever category makes the most sense to them.

We have a zero tolerance policy for harassment so if anyone is being a jerk about anyone's identity (or anything else for that matter) let us know and we'll take care of it.

What's your refund policy?

We grant all refunds, all the time, for any reason. Missing the race is punishment enough, we don't need to rub it in by keeping your money. If you're on the fence, just register now (before your field is full!) and ask for a refund if you change your mind.

Remember how awesome last year was?
