Ride to Defeat ALS

This is a low key event with the primary focus being on charity rather than racing. There are multiple bicycle courses (the longest of which is 70 miles) beginning at the Longfellow Club in Wayland. They continue through several towns with rest stops in Hudson, Bolton, Acton, Concord, and Sudbury.

  • While the event runs from 6AM to 2PM, some stations open as late as 9AM and some close as early as 11AM
  • Operators working at a course station can report directly to their station
  • We will attempt to locate you at a station closer to your home if possible
  • There will be two roving race vehicles that will require a mobile radio
  • We will have both 2m and 70cm repeaters linked for this event
