The average daily ride is 68 miles (109 kilometers) for a total distance of about 3,750 miles (6,000 kilometers). - Celebration rallies are planned in Seattle; Kennewick, Wash.; Boise, Idaho; Salt Lake City; Denver; Sioux Center, Iowa; Madison, Wis.; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Jersey City, N.J.

- Cyclists can register for one, two, or all three sections of the route, ranging from two to nine weeks. Cyclists commit to reaching a fund-raising target of $10,000 (or $4,000 per section) in support of the cause.
