The Breakthrough T1D Ride program offers many ways to get involved, but for riders looking for flexibility, My Ride stands out as a powerful and personal option. Designed to fit real life, My Ride allows you to support life-changing type 1 diabetes (T1D) research on your own terms, while staying connected to community and purpose.
What Is My Ride?
My Ride is a virtual Ride option with no fundraising minimum, making it easier than ever to participate. You choose how, when, and where you ride, while still being part of the Breakthrough T1D Ride program.
By registering for My Ride, you can:
- Ride on your own schedule, at your own pace
- Join local training rides and chapter-hosted events
- Fundraise for the Ride program and earn exciting incentives
- Stay connected to the Breakthrough T1D mission and community
Whether you are balancing work, family, travel, or training needs, My Ride removes barriers while keeping the heart of Ride experience intact.
The Power of Flexibility
My Ride gives participants the freedom to shape their experience while staying meaningfully engaged with Breakthrough T1D. Riders can create their own local ride days, join chapter-supported rides, or participate in ready-made events shared throughout the season.
My Ride in Action
During the 2025 Ride season, local rider Kevin chose My Ride as a way to stay connected while building experiences that worked for their lives. Coach Kevin organized a local ride with friends, creating a destination-style experience without the pressure of a large event. My Ride gave him the flexibility to focus on community, timing, and location.
Another local rider, Catherine, turned to My Ride to remain active with our chapter while balancing work and life with young children. The flexible timeline allowed her more time to train and fundraise. In October, she joined the Giro del Vino ride in Hammonton, NJ, a fully supported event with 25-, 45-, or 63-mile options and a social celebration following the ride. Giro del Vino is a great example of a ready-made My Ride experience that combines flexibility with team camaraderie.
Get Started With My Ride
