About Bike MS
What is Bike MS?
Bike MS is the largest fundraising cycling series in the world. Each year, nearly 75,000 cyclists and more than 6,000 teams ride together to change the world for people affected by multiple sclerosis. Bike MS participants have raised more than $2,025 to date, funding critical research and programs to improve the lives of people living with MS.
Why We Ride
Bike MS brings together thousands of cyclists of all levels who share a passion for making a difference in the lives of people affected by MS. The camaraderie, passion, and memories that come from the weekend create an experience unlike any other. Bike MS is more than a ride—it's an extraordinary experience grounded in community and purpose.
As a proud member of Team Spanish Beer, I ride to fuel breakthroughs, build connections, and raise critical funds for those living with MS. Our team rides with heart, humor, and a whole lot of grit — and we're just getting started.

Who Should Consider Being a Virtual Rider?
- Supporters who can't ride due to health, schedule, or other reasons
- Family members and friends of cyclists who want to contribute
- Team supporters who prefer to help with logistics and cheering
- Anyone passionate about ending MS who prefers not to cycle
- Corporate team members who want to participate without riding
Veterans & MS: A Special Connection
Studies have shown that veterans are at a higher risk of developing multiple sclerosis compared to the general population. This connection is particularly strong for those who served in specific conflicts or regions.
The National MS Society is committed to supporting veterans with MS through specialized programs, research initiatives, and advocacy efforts. If you're a veteran living with MS, or know someone who is, the Society has resources specifically designed to help navigate both the VA system and MS care.
Unlock More Rides, More Impact – The Bike MS Passport Program
The Bike MS Passport Program is an exclusive benefit for top fundraisers who raise $5,000 or more in a calendar year. This program allows these dedicated cyclists to participate in any Bike MS event the following year without meeting the fundraising minimum.

You'll receive a special Passport designation that allows you to register for any Bike MS event nationwide without having to meet the fundraising minimum for that event.

The Bike MS Passport Program
This year, Passport riders will roll through scenic coastlines, mountain passes, and historic towns, all united by one goal: a world free of MS.
