To register for the rest stop, click here and follow the step-by-step registration instructions provided here, using access code “THEJAMES” to access our reserved shifts. If you are already registered as a Rider or Challenger, you can add a Volunteer registration to your account as outlined in the instructions provided. During registration, it’s important that you join a Team Buckeye peloton if you are not part of one already.
This is a great opportunity to show support to the Pelotonia Riders who are riding through Granville on their way to the finish line. These Riders have committed to ride 35 to 200 miles to raise money for cancer research at Ohio State.
As Ride Weekend gets closer, you will be contacted with all the details you need to know. Thank you in advance for your support of this event that ultimately will help bring us closer to a cancer-free world.
Sincerely,
