First of all, thanks for riding, (or thinking about it)

Ride for AIDS Chicago is a two-day, 180-mile, bicycling event created by volunteers and designed to raise needed monies for TPAN and BEHIV. We’re completely grass roots and committed to returning 100% of donations we receive to our beneficiaries: Test Positive Aware Network (TPAN) and Better Existence with HIV (BEHIV).

Unlike other rides of this kind, Ride for AIDS Chicago is committed to returning 100% of your pledges to the beneficiaries. We did it with the past years of the ride, so we have a pretty good track record. We are able to do this by keeping costs down. Your registration fee along with corporate sponsorship dollars covers the expenses of doing the event.

If you’re thinking about riding…
This web site was put together to answer questions you may have to help you make that decision.

We also have a number of orientation sessions scheduled to provide you with information and get your questions answered, see Overview/Orientation Sessions.

If you’ve already registered…
This web site contains some valuable information about the ride, HIV/AIDS, the beneficiaries, fundraising and training. The links to the left provide information about fundraising and training. Under the The Ride tab at the top you’ll find information about the ride itself and under the Why We Ride tab you’ll find information about HIV/AIDS and the beneficiaries.

Ride Packet

We have put together an extensive ride packet that answers all the questions you may have about the ride. Most of the information contained in the packet is also found on this web site.

We will send each participant a copy of the packet. You can also download the packet here in Adobe PDF format (this will open a new browser window). The packet is 24 pages.

If you are able to download and print the packet yourself, and don’t need us to send you a copy, please indicate that on your registration form, it helps us save on postage.
