What started as Patrick Cotant riding 100 miles to raise awareness and critical financial support for Norte became Norte’s largest annual fundraiser! Patrick and his friends have raised over $60,000 to get more kids rolling and connected with their communities. Thank you, Patrick and friends! Your support has been life-changing for thousands of children across Northern Michigan.

Patrick’s Ride With Friends has evolved into Norte’s Ride With Friends. Read on for more information on how to support this year’s ride and empower the next generation of riders.

Everyone can help support our mission of building community through cycling! Here’s how:

1. Register to ride! Find ride options, routes, and more information at the bottom of the page. All rides will start and end at the Norte Clubhouse at the Grand Traverse Civic Center.

2. Raise money for Norte by sharing this link with friends and family who’d like to join you for this annual fundraiser and donate to your ride.

3. Ride on August 2nd with cyclists of all ages and abilities!

4. Don’t want to ride? Volunteer! Your support makes our work possible.
