      Hi Jackie,
      Thanks for registering for the ride.
      Before riding you’ll only need to sign a waiver. You can either do this online, (fill out the second page and email to: joplintrailscoalition@gmail.com), or print and mail it, or print and email a photo of it).
      You also have the option of signing the waiver when you pick up the packet, or on ride day, at registration between 6:30-8:00.
      See you October 12th.

    The website isn’t allowing me to finalize my registration for the 17 mi ride, although I did pay through paypal. How do I make sure I get my t-shirt size, etc.

    Hello,
    Does it cost anymore to registrar for the ride the morning of the ride instead of online today ?

      Hi Mike. It’s exactly the same price. If you’re local, you can register at the bike shop in Webb City (Bicycle Specialists), on Friday afternoon. Day of we can take a cash,check, card and I believe Venmo too.

      Hi Barbara,
      So far, we haven’t found anything with your email or name. Is it possible it’s attached to another address? Did you register last night or previously?

      Hi Chad, Yes we have your registration for the 67 mile, and have a S t-shirt for you at packet pick up tomorrow morning. All you’ll need to do is sign a waiver and you’re good to go.

    At one of the SAGs a volunteer mentioned you supported another ride earlier in the year. Which ride is that and roughly when is it held. May want to include it in my ride calendar for next year as well as Maple Leaf.

    A SAG volunteer told us you host another ride earlier in the season. Could you provide the name and approximate date of the ride so I can add it to my ride calendar for next year?

      Hi Rob, Thanks for riding with us Saturday. Currently, we only have the annual Maple Leaf Bicycle Tour on the calendar. In years past, we organized a Rte. 66 ride but haven’t since 2021. We may do a one-off on that next year, but it would be in the fall. Any announcement would be on our website here and Facebook pages “Joplin Trails Coalition” and “Maple Leaf Bicycle Tour”.
