Cross USA Ride Application

We are excited that you will be joining us for the experience of a lifetime!

If you are looking to join us for one of the smaller segments, you can proceed to the registration form. If you are interested in the 10-week or 5-week options, we ask that you first complete the short application form, at the bottom of this page.
Application and Registration

The application and registration process occurs in four steps.

  • Step one – Application: We ask you to answer a few questions so we can get to know you. The application is below.
  • Step two – Interview: Participants interested in the 10 week or 5 week options, a member from our Advisory Committee will be in touch with you to schedule a 20 minute phone call. We want to be sure that this is the right ride for you. Participants interested in shorter segments will not have a formal interview but you are free to call anytime.
  • Step three – Registration: For 10 and 5 week participants, after you complete the application and interview you will receive an email with a link to our registration page to complete your registration. For shorter segments we will send you a link to register after we receive your application.
  • Step four – Follow up: Throughout the following months we will collect health forms, travel forms, and other logistical forms as we get closer to the ride.

All riders pay a registration fee, and have a fundraising commitment.  The registration fee can be paid in installments. We hope that our fundraising minimums do not deter you from participating in our Cross USA Bike Ride. Fundraising is easier than you think. We will support you every stop of the way, with fundraising ideas and how to implement them, we are always available to offer guidance and suggestions.

Eligibility

Riders must meet the following criteria:

  • Commit to meeting the minimum fundraising requirement.
  • Be in good health. If you have a pre-existing condition, such as a pacemaker, we may require a doctor’s note. We recommend that everyone see a doctor before you begin your training.
  • Be comfortable with communal living and basic accommodations throughout the ride (ie: floors of churches/Hillels/JCC’s, and campgrounds)
  • Be at least 12 years old. Please note that this is a very strenuous physical undertaking and your child should be mentally and physically prepared. All riders 12-15 years old will need to cycle and remain with a parent or guardian at all times.
  • Riders 15-17 years old may ride with other riders of the same age or older at any given time.
