Want to Participate in ACT8?
Raising funds for AIDS Network is why we participate. AIDS Network uses the funds raised to provide services for community members living with HIV/AIDS, to help educate the community about HIV/AIDS and to help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS.
You can participate in the ACT 8 community as a rider, crew member or day volunteer. Depending on your interests and available time, you participate in all four days of the event, including staying overnight, as a rider or crew member or come provide support as a day volunteer.
Be a Rider
ACT 8 is a ride for people of all bicycling abilities, not just experienced bikers. It is a ride, not a race. You can take your time, enjoy yourself, and know that we will leave no one behind. We’ll have a crew that will take care of all your needs, from meals to pit stops along the way, from medical support and technical support to sleeping arrangements, from carrying your gear to, if you need it, carrying you. It costs $70 to register as a rider. The registration fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. All riders must raise an additional $1,200 in pledges.

Join the Crew
Are you interested in ACT 8, but not excited by riding a bike for over 300 miles? Want to actively support a friend or loved one who will be riding? Then join the ACT 8 crew! There are plenty of opportunities to help--for an afternoon or the entire ride. If you have special skills, or just want to make sure that our riders have a warm meal and a snug place to sleep, please join us! To be a crew member you must commit to helping on all four days of the ride. There is a $70 registration fee to participate as a crew member and you are encouraged but not required to fundraise.

Be a Day Volunteer
Day volunteers fill various daytime support positions all during the year and on every day of the ACT 8 ride, July 28-August 1, 2010. If you have two hours or more and want to help, we will find a job for you. Day volunteers may contact vendors for food donations, write press releases, sort inventory or distribute posters and brochures. If you want to support the ride or a friend who is participating, share a couple of hours of your time, just one day or many days. Day voluteering is a great way to experience the ACT community spirit.
