COURAGE. DETERMINATION. COMMUNITY. HOPE.

On September 6, 2025, we’ll ride together in the 15th Annual Closer to Free Ride, and we need you with us! This Ride fuels research and care at Smilow Cancer Hospital and Yale Cancer Center, while providing riders of all levels the opportunity to experience five professionally designed and fully supported routes, ranging from 10 to 100 miles. If you’re not in the New Haven area, you can still join our community remotely and ride wherever you are.
