Bike the Barns is FairShare CSA Coalition’s largest fundraiser. Proceeds from the ride benefit our organization and our Partner Shares program, which provides financial assistance to eligible households to increase access to CSA shares. We’re riding to make sure all of our neighbors have access to fresh, healthy food! Learn more about fundraising for Bike the Barns!
Registration includes all food (breakfast snack + coffee, snack stop, lunch, and after party meal & beer ticket), farm tours and on-farm activities, live music, participant gift bag, and a well-marked and supported bike route (Bike the Barns) / bus transportation and tour guides (Bus the Barns).
Registration for Bike the Barns costs $125. Riders may cover this cost by 1) paying the full $125 at the time of registration, or 2) paying $65 and fundraising a minimum of $60, either as an individual rider or as a team. Visit our Registration page for more details.
Registration for Bus the Barns costs $65. We are not offering a fundraiser participant option at this time. Visit our Bus the Barns page for more information.
Once the ride reaches capacity, we start a waiting list. Registration will absolutely close by midnight, Thursday, September 6, 2018. Register EARLY! Bike the Barns typically fills 4 to 5 weeks before the ride. We’d hate for you to train all summer and not be able to register or be relegated to the waiting list!
