The Peloton
The spirit of the Ride
Kick off Ride Weekend with purpose
A 12-mile ride from Roswell Park to UB
Riding in the Peloton during Celebration of Hope on Friday, June 26, is a great way to honor and remember who we ride for. The first step to being in the Peloton is becoming an Extra Mile Club Silver member.
The Peloton is one of the most impactful moments of Ride Weekend and carries the spirit of our mission across Buffalo. After a moving tribute to Roswell Park patients, a police-escorted, 12-mile bicycle procession travels in a two-by-two formation from Roswell Park to the University at Buffalo’s North Campus.
