Orientation Rides (ORs):

ORs are offered from May - September and are a fun and essential part of preparing for the Albany Ride for Missing Children. ORs are designed to teach safe riding practices, proper group formation, and what to expect during the main event. Whether you’re a first-time rider or a seasoned participant, ORs help you get comfortable with the ride format, learn about our mission, and meet the amazing community of riders who make this event so special!

Participation Requirements:

New Riders: Required to complete at least 2 ORs.
Returning Riders: Required to complete at least 1 OR.

New Riders Welcome:

We welcome cyclists of all levels! Even if you're undecided about joining The Ride, you're welcome to join an OR—no commitment required. Just bring your bike and and enjoy the experience of cranking some wheels with us!

Important Reminders & Contact:

ALL RIDES ARE WEATHER DEPENDENT. Check our Facebook page (Albany RFMC Ride Family) on the morning of the ride for updates.
The schedule is subject to change, so stay tuned!
