New For 2025 - ENY Fundraising Partners
Our pricing model changed last year. Instead of marketing with an annoying price increase each month, and repetitive boring emails, our focus has shifted to charging what we believe the value of the ride is in comparison to other similar rides.
When you register for the ride, there is a fixed amount that we need to cover the expenses of the ride. Then there is an amount that we need to help fund strategic investments for the club (for example, we are currently working on a new web site). But there is plenty of room for us to share a portion of the registration fees with fundraising partners.
There is a trend in the cycling world for non profits to run bike rides to raise funds. Not everyone can do this successfully - for those, we are happy to share our ride.
We have moved to a new registration system called BikeReg and they have an offering called PledgeReg which allows riders at their option to fundraise for a cause they hold dear. If you don’t see a cause you would like to support, you can click on OTHER and provide it to us - you can use PledgeReg to set up your own web site
Partners will be added to this page along with their discount codes should you decide to fundraise for them. Consider inviting your network to support that causes you have passion for by sponsoring your ride! The standard model is we will discount the ride $20 and make an initial donation of $40 to start our fundraising efforts off.
Very important for you to note: If you are already fundraising in another ride, no problem! Leverage ENY to increase funds to your cause. We will write a check to the cause in your name. If you finished the other ride and still need to raise more - use our ride to follow up with your circle between now and September 13th!

The mission of Yes She Can is to help all individuals with all abilities, including people with autism and other learning differences, to develop transferable job skills to enable them to join and be successful in the competitive workforce. Visit their web site here.
Yes She Can was founded to support the needs of women with autism who uniquely struggled to find and maintain employment. Not only do women overall have a higher unemployment rate than men, but only 21% of autistic adults are employed. After ten years of successfully providing services for young women through our unique model, we have determined that all individuals can benefit from our program. We have broadened our services to be gender-neutral. We will continue to offer specific training programs for women because many trainees still request that option, but some programs will be gender-neutral.
Many individuals with different abilities can secure jobs but often have difficulty maintaining them, primarily due to the lack of job training and support that meets their specific needs. Work is especially important for autistic individuals: It provides greater independence, a sense of purpose, and belonging.

Roll It Forward
PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT the NYCC Roll-It-Forward Program - that is a program which issues Awards to organizations that more directly support our mission. Historically, New York Cycle Club has supported Kids Ride Club and I Challenge Myself, two NYC charities that help local at-risk youth. Over the past few years, the club has initiated a new program called Roll It Forward, where cycling-related causes can apply for awards of $500 and up. If you know any organization that merits our support, please have them nominate themselves. Details are available on the New York Cycle Club web site here.

“It was great. Missing that one turn was a bummer, but aside from that all of the rest stops were fun, the volunteers were great, and the food options were fantastic this year.”
“First time, enjoyed the group I rode with, the after party food. Support staff was helpful and friendly at rest stops. Many thanks!”
