About Our CF Cycle for Life

The 2023 CF Cycle for Life event is heading to the GAP trail again! The event will offer multiple distance options with support so that you can challenge your mind and body while having a whole lotta fun. This ride will be fully supported with bike techs, rest stops, and a fantastic Finish Line Festival with food and beverages to refuel from your ride.

Every CF Cycle for Life participant is driven by a dream that all people with cystic fibrosis should have the chance to live a long, healthy life. By joining us at CF Cycle for Life, you can help make a difference for people living with CF. 

Cycle for Life will host 3 different routes this year:
