- A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
SAG/Support Vehicle Volunteers drive a portion of the route in their own vehicle (SUV/Truck) to help provide assistance to cyclists if needed. We will have bike shops providing support as well, so most of our additional support vehicles will be there to help us identify the last rider and pick-up any cyclists that have broken down or gotten too tired.
Event Description- The 6th annual rideATAXIA Orlando will be held at Waterfront Park in Clermont, FL on Sunday, November 13th 2016 and will offer multiple route options on scenic country roads, followed by delicious post ride food prepared by Outback Steakhouse and Carrabba's Italian Grill.
rideATAXIA Philly benefits the Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA)- a nonprofit organization dedicated to research leading to treatments and a cure for Friedreich's ataxia (FA). FA is a debilitating, life shortening degenerative neuro-muscular disorder.
rideATAXIA cycling events across the United States have raised invaluable awareness for FA and over $4 million to support FA research since 2007.
