We invite you to join us for a fun, supportive, and epic group ride; join for some or all!

On January 24th, starting at 4:00 AM EST (NYC), several members of BMTR will ride 225 miles (362 km) on Zwift to raise funds and awareness for autism. They will be cycling for approximately 10 hours! We are hosting three events where you can join us to cheer them on and make a difference together. Let’s show our support!

This is the main event among the three, and we are expanding it to 125 miles (201 km) from the usual 100 miles to highlight the significance of the cause we are passionate about supporting.

For our fundraising efforts, we are honored to support the Autism Society of America (ASA), a nonprofit organization that has tirelessly advocated for and supported the autism community for 58 years. Join us for all or part of this BMTR Cares ride on Zwift to help further the Autism Society of America's mission to foster meaningful connections and empower individuals and families within the autism community.

If you're able, please consider donating any amount, large or small, to support ASA's vital work. Your contribution can make a meaningful difference.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support!


Please note that there is no "A" Category Group. However, we encourage "A Cats" to join the B Category Group. This option allows you to ride with the B Group "Freebirds," who maintain a faster, more spirited pace than the Beacon Group. (BMTR does not use the “Fence.”)

The C and D Groups will make one brief stop at approximately 62 miles (100 km), while the B Group will not stop along the way. All three categories can take advantage of the "Coffee Break" option, which allows a 3-minute break every 30 minutes of riding while you keep pace with the group.

This event is designed as a longer endurance ride. Average watts per kilogram (w/kg) for each group are calculated to keep most riders within their "Zone 2 Endurance / low Zone 3 Tempo" ranges, based on their Functional Threshold Power (FTP) or Zwift's calculations and assignments.

Since we will primarily use flatter routes (defined as having less than 3,100 feet or 945 meters of climbing per 100 miles or 161 km), smaller riders may be at the higher end of their category's average, while larger riders may be toward the lower end.
