Fundraising Weeks

Fundraising Weeks run Monday through Sunday at midnight. Each fundraising week will have winners in the following categories*:
- Team with 4-14 members
- Team with 15+ members
- Individual rider (team member or non-team member)
*based on the highest amount of online fundraising (total dollars raised) this week
As a reward for your amazing fundraising, we will award the following prizes for Fundraising Weeks:
- Team winners: Upgraded team experience of your choice (team tent upgrades, team porta potty at a rest stop of their choice, or a dedicated packet pick-up for their team)
- Individual winner: Bike MS prize pack
Bike MS is an extraordinary ride no matter where you are! Whether you have a flat tire or need a snack to help get you across the finish line, we’ve got you covered…
Each route includes fully-stocked rest stops every 10 to 12 miles with some of the best snacks and volunteers around. Relax, hydrate, use the restroom, re-apply sunscreen and enjoy the volunteers. Bike mechanics and support and gear (SAG) vehicles will also be on the route to assist you.
After the ride, we will have plenty of food at the finish line.
Riders are welcome to pre-purchase meals and drinks for friends and family at both the Sheraton and Liberty Station.
Click here to pre-purchase meals and drinks.
Bicycle Types Permitted:
Except for a specific class of E-Bike as described below, all participants in Bike MS® events are only permitted to use “self-propelled” bicycles without motors. No rollerblades, pedicabs or trailers shall be permitted on Bike MS rides, without express prior permission from the National MS Society’s Legal and Risk Management Department.
E-bikes: Only Class 1 Electric Bicycles are allowed in the Bay to Bay Ride event due to State of California E-Bike Regulations (city permitting) on our ride routes.
A Class 1 electric bike, otherwise known as a low-speed pedal-assisted bicycle is a bike equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is peddling, and that ceases to assist when the bicycle reaches a top speed of 20 miles per hour.
Cyclists on e-bikes are asked to be extremely cautious when riding for their safety and the safety of the cyclists on regular bikes. In addition, riders should note that our Bay to Bay S.A.G vehicles are not equipped to handle multiple e-bike pickups.
All batteries and charging is the responsibility of the rider and Bay to Bay will not provide charging stations along the routes.
