There is no cost to ride; however, all registrants are asked to obtain sponsors. Proceeds from sponsorships will be donated to Episcopal Community Services, which through its 15 member agencies provides food, shelter, counseling and other services to western New Yorkers in need.

Loop the Lake riders receive a free t-shirt, free water and snacks during the ride, and a free lunch at the end.

"The most important benefit," says the Rev. Eric Williams, rector of St. Luke's, "will be knowing you have helped those in need."   

Anyone wishing to register to ride all or a portion of the route may download a registration form here (http://www.wingedox.com/tour.htm).
