Prices and How to Register
How much is all this luxury and fun going to cost?
$365. Optional transportation home for your bike and you is available.
SO... why is this ride so expensive?
I'm glad you asked!
1. Unbridled greed.
2. The last time we did The Ride to Montauk was 2019, and one of the reasons there was no ride for the next five years is that I thought the ride was getting too expensive. Well... here's what's happened since then:
Please be SURE to read all the info here on refunds, credits, cancellations...
You have NOT spent ANY money, and you have NOT registered until you click the OK button and see a confirmation message on your computer screen. Be sure to look for that on-screen registration confirmation -- if you don’t see it, you ain’t registered! (Every year a few people get 90 percent of the way through registration, bail out for some reason, and then can’t figure out why they aren’t on the morning check-in list on ride day!)
After you register you will ALSO receive a confirmation via email, sent to the email address you gave us during registration. If you don’t get that confirmation email then something is wrong! Drop us a note and we’ll be happy to help.
After registration, EVERYONE should go back to this web site to read all about where to show up on ride day, when, what to bring, and our incredibly unfair rules...
If you are having trouble registering, it MIGHT be because you are trying to register from your office. Many corporations set up computer firewalls to protect you from fun at work. Try another computer outside the office. If you get stuck, you can email us here and we’ll do our best for you.
Registration
On-line registration: We are restricted by the towns through which we travel on how many cyclists we can have, and they take this very seriously. We expect the ride to sell out before ride day, but we’ve been wrong before. In any case registration will end no later than noon on September 12th. (Why do we end on-line registration “early”? We need time to print out all the registration info and make copies so it can be ready for ride day, and that takes serious time!)
Day-of registration: IF we are not sold out, day-of registration will be available at all check-in locations at a much higher price for all routes and distances. The higher day-of price is not to be mean (being mean is just an extra added benefit for the cranky ride HQ staff). No, the day-of price is high to encourage you to sign up in advance, which makes running the ride much easier for us!

Me? I love my job and I love this ride... but I now earn 1/2 of what I earned from The Ride to Montauk back in the 1990s.
No whinging here -- I am honored to be at the helm of the 60th anniversary ride. I just didn't want you to think I was cashing in from the higher prices.
