Other Orders and Requests:
After registration ends, Jonathan will send out an email to all participants asking for clarification on names, rider plaques, arrivals, departures, meals, roommate requests, and other things that we'll need to make sure we have everything right and to make sure all our plans and numbers are accurate. Be on the lookout for those messages soon.
Virtual Buddies:
New this year, we asked all of our Virtual Tour des Trees participants if they would like to be paired up with a rider buddy during Tour week to help them feel more connected to the in-person ride. After registration ends, we will be asking all of the riders if they would like to be a "buddy" for one of our virtual participants. This will entail reaching out via email or text and sharing photos and/or your thoughts or summaries with them about all the goings-on throughout the week. Keep an eye out for that email but think about it now, how you'd like to show off the ride this year and encourage them as they do their miles from home.
Pay-Your-Way:
For our riders that are able to pay-their-own-way for fundraising, we ask that you get your donations in before September 22. This saves us time and helps us to more accurately report on our fundraising totals after the ride. You can make a donation directly to your fundraising page or mail a check to the TREE Fund office, 1755 Park Street, Suite 200, Naperville, IL 60563. For all riders, the fundraising deadline is October 1.
