can you register for the ride as a team and ride every other day?

Yes. I assume you will be providing support to your team on the off days? Your best option is to register the entire team for the whole week and apply for a vehicle pass. This way you, and other members of your team, can ride when you want to and drive support when you don’t feel like riding.

To Whom it may concern:

I tried to log on to your website and I used my correct log in and password but could not log in. I will need to because I would like to register for next summer’s ride. Please help me to correct this situation.

Thank you for your help.

I also tried to log on to the website with the correct log-in and password and had no luck. I have e-mailed the contact info given for web issues on their site. Hopefully they will resolve the problem.
