The Ride Shifts Gears
Get Your Guts in Gear (GYGIG) is an independent, national, not-for-profit organization that raises awareness of Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis and related conditions through multi-day cycling events that benefit and support inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) organizations and patient advocacy groups. Traditionally, GYGIG has held two rides in different parts of the country that connect both participants and volunteers at a deep level. Now they are taking a completely new route!
Regional Rides:
This year, GYGIG will bring its multi-faceted community of riders, volunteers, friends, and family together for participant-led and participant-driven Regional Rides. Team captains will create these ride locations, dates, and details, while GYGIG will be there every step of the way to provide resources to create and execute each Regional Ride.
The ultimate goal of these Regional Rides will be to bring the GYGIG community together in more locations than ever before and to continue to grow and foster this community, while preparing for their exciting new adventure in 2017Guts Across America!
Guts Across America:
Guts Across America will have two components: Team Guts and Relay Ride Across America. Team Guts will be comprised of volunteers and riders who accept the challenge of biking across the country. Relay Ride Across America allows volunteers and riders to choose segments within the ride to join Team Guts and pass the baton to fellow riders and volunteers. More information, details and registration for Relay Ride Across America will be available soon.
Join the excitement! For more information and to view the Regional Rides that have been created so far, go to igotguts.org.
