The 2021 YSC Tour de Pink Lisa J. Frank Memorial events will be single day rides.

East – Sunday, October 3 with the start/finish at Jenkinson’s Inlet in Point Pleasant Beach, NJ

West- Saturday, October 23 with the start/finish at San Buenaventura Beach in Ventura, CA

YSC Tour de Pink will comply with prevailing local COVID-19 regulations at the time of the event. We will follow CDC guidelines and best health practices to mitigate any exposure during the rides.  The safety of our riders and TDP community is our greatest concern, and we will update everyone as soon as possible if there are changes necessary.

Early-bird registration is $75 for anyone who registers before August 15, 2021. The  registration fee after August 15th is $100.  Registration fees are non-refundable, non-transferable and do not count towards a participant’s fundraising minimum.

Yes, there is a minimum. All riders commit to raising $1,000 to go to Young Survival Coalition, the largest nonprofit dedicated exclusively to providing education, support and community to young adults impacted by breast cancer.  This year, there is not Team Fundraising. You can still join a team, but each rider will need to raise at least $1,000 to ride in Tour de Pink.

So much! But the supportive community and joyful vibe has not changed. First, we have renamed the entire event to the YSC Tour de Pink Lisa J. Frank Memorial ride to honor Lisa J. Frank, TDP co-founder and young survivor who passed away in 2020. 

This year is also now a 1-day ride instead of 3 days. To ride in TDP, each rider will need to raise the $1,000 minimum by the event date in order to ride in Tour de Pink.

Once you reach your fundraising minimum, the registration fee provides amenities during the ride including branded jersey, YSC Tour de Pink t-shirt, printed bib, pre-ride snacks, fully stocked rest stops and a post-ride celebratory lunch.

This year, we are excited to offer a 20-mile, 36-mile and a 62-mile ride.

There will be a staggered start time for each route. Should you choose and if time allows, you can combine routes for longer distances.  Note that there may not be immediate support services available if you combine routes. Refer to the Event Details section of the website for East and West for more detailed route information.

Remember, YSC Tour de Pink is a RIDE, not a race. This means you should ride at your own pace. Time will not be kept, nor are any prizes awarded for finishing first.  Even without timed routes, all cyclists should train before participating.  Refer to All Things Bikes for training information.

You can search already existing teams from the website under FIND A TEAM. YSC Tour de Pink is a welcoming community, and many teams would be happy to have additional riders. You can also start your own team and recruit your friends and family to join you. 

Please note this year there is no Team Fundraising. Each rider must raise at least $1,000 to ride.
