Before you show up on race day, make sure your bike fits your body! Head over to Fit By Reid for a physical assessment and bike fitting - you'll be glad you did!

Fit by Reid is an athlete-focused independent bike fit studio. My background professionally is as an endurance sports coach and I've ridden and raced most disciplines, so I really understand the needs of athletes and that drives my athlete-focus approach to bike fit. I apply my background of helping athletes to bike fit so that everyone can be as happy as possible on their bike. The main things I do are bike fit for road, mtb, gravel, and some Tri and TT bikes; pretty much any pedal bike. The fit starts with an interview and physical assessment to get to know the rider and their needs. Then I do a comprehensive, fingers to toes bike fit using Retul 3D motion capture, and provide a post-fit report. I also offer a complete range of in person and remote coaching and skills instruction solutions for endurance cycling athletes.

Why We Exist

Worldwide, 300,000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year. And in the U.S., more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease—more than AIDS, asthma, cystic fibrosis, congenital anomalies and diabetes combined.

By working closely with leading pediatric oncologists, we determine the most promising research to fund and create funding priorities to make the greatest impact for children with cancer.

Participants who donate $25 or more by September 5th will receive a free St. Baldrick's shirt and wrist band! Donations can be made during registration, or from the Donate button at the top of this page.
