How do I participate in the training series and ride the Cinderella Classic or Challenge?

No registration is required for the FFBC Cinderella Coaching Series for 2019, but reservations are encouraged.
Read the Rules of the Road to familiarize yourself with our training rules, and the Recommended Gear list if you have any questions about what to bring on your rides.
In 2019 the Cinderella Classic and Challenge rides are scheduled for Saturday, March 30. Online registration opens in Jan 2019. Sign up with the Valley Spokesmen as soon as possible to register for the Cinderella Classic or Challenge (this is a separate entry fee from the FFBC Cinderella Coaching Rides). The Valley Spokesmen’s Cinderella rides sell out quickly so we advise participants to register early.
Show up with a smile on your face for your first ride on January 12th!

How do I know which series to sign up for?

What do I need bring on the training rides?
