We know that not every rookie is a beginner
Many rookies are avid cyclists and/or experienced fundraisers and don’t need any coaching from us. No matter what your skill level, or fundraising experience, we have the extra support you will need to reach your goals. Rookies are very important to us. Around 35% of our cyclists are rookies every year and we expect over 600 rookies to join us this year. You are not alone.
