We’ve heard a few questions floating around, so let’s clear the air:
The beneficiary of this year’s Fall Charity Ride is not a state department. Instead, your registration fees and donations support an independent, not-for-profit organization that champions parks, trails, and outdoor access across New York State.

This group works year-round to protect green spaces, expand trail networks, and advocate for the kind of outdoor adventures we all love. So when you ride, you’re not just pushing pedals—you’re helping build a better, more connected New York for hikers, bikers, and nature lovers alike.

I hope to see you there on Saturday.
