About the Event:


 Join us for our 2nd Annual CF Cycle for Life, a one-day scenic bike ride along the Towpath Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Particpants will have several new out & back route options (13, 26 or 65 miles) to enjoy the fall foliage, with another new option this year -- an opportunity for all cyclists to hitch a ride back to our Celebration Party at the Winking Lizard Tavern on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad!
 
This cycle event is a fully supported ride with well-stocked rest stops, support vehicles, GREAT prizes and much more.  A registration fee and minimum fundraising commitment are required to participate.  Bike helmets are required to ride.

Get in shape, join the fun…Bike Aboard and help a great cause!  For more information, contact the CF Foundation; Northern Ohio Chapter: (216) 475-CURE.

Participants under the age of 18 are not permitted to participate in the Aptalis CF Cycle For Life®. Bike helmets are required to ride.

CF Cycle for Life is a pledge event. In addition to the registration fee we require all cyclists to raise a minimum fundraising amount ($175.00) to participate in the ride.

Registration fees are not tax deductible and do not count towards your fundraising total. Your Minimum Pledge Requirement is tax deductible and must be turned in on or before event date.

Minimum Pledge Requirement Policy: The minimum pledge requirement is due on or before event day. If you have met your minimum by the day of the event, we encourage you to keep fundraising. Reach for the stars and earn great prizes. Even though the minimum amount is due by the day of the event, you have one month after the event to earn a jersey or other cycle rewards. The average amount a participant raises is $650. Registration fees are non refundable and do not count towards your fundraising minimum. Fundraising is 100% tax deductable. Thank you for adding tomorrows for people with cystic fibrosis.

TIP - When registering you will be asked to state your fundraising goal (which you can change later). You may select any of the amounts from the pull down menu that are ABOVE the ride's minimum fundraising goal. If the minimum fundraising goal is not an option in the pull down menu, you will need to select the shaded block that is immediately above the minimum amount - and then type in any other amount above the minimum.

For everyone's safety, Cycle for Life participants must follow all applicable rules and regulations. Before setting out on the ride please read and familiarize yourself with the Cycle for Life Rules of the road in the cycle guide.

Because of risks to people with cystic fibrosis, individuals with a confirmed positive sputum culture for Burkholderia cepacia complex shall not attend this event. This is because B. cepacia can be passed between individuals who have CF through close proximity. B. cepacia infection in a person with CF can cause serious respiratory illness and, in some patients, may lead to death.

Despite this policy, there might still be some individuals with B. cepacia in attendance. B. cepacia is not a risk for otherwise healthy individuals. Learn more about alternative ways in which a person with B. cepacia can participate, or call the CF Foundation at (800) FIGHT-CF. Consult your CF care center physician with medical questions.
