The adventure of the Bike MS experience begins not on the first day of the event but the moment you begin training for it. The training process is a journey unto itself that will reward you with better health and fitness, greater calmness and energy in your daily life, and more fun in the ride itself.
FedEx “Rock-N- Roll” cyclists will ride 75 miles each day. To enjoy your ride and be able to finish, it is essential to correctly train for it. For your convenience, there are several options for training rides in the Memphis area. Registered riders of the “Rock-N-Roll” are welcome to attend these rides as guests of Bike Plus and Memphis Hightailers.
Another great training ride......Take part in the Bikes Blues and Bayous ride in Greenwood, MS on August 1st.
