We welcome riders with special needs and bikes of all kinds! We include a Lifeline 100 T Shirt with your registration and note that the sizes run a bit large.
Lifeline 100 is a “rain or shine” event. However, if together with our public safety partners we determine that conditions would be unsafe, the event may be cancelled.
