Committed

When you register for the PMC Winter Cycle, you are signing up for a fundraising mission first, and a spin event second. Whether you’re a virtual rider who never gets on a bike or an Extreme Rider participating in all six sessions, your commitment contributes to the PMC’s mission of raising funds for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Key Dates

October 15, 2025

Register

Registration opens in three tiers: Pacesetter (October 15), alumni (October 16), and general registration (October 21). The fundraising minimum is $500 per session, and you can choose just one session or up to all six. Register early so you can choose your favorite sessions before they sell out!

Ride

Let’s ride! While the PMC Winter Cycle is a fundraising event first and foremost, we know the ride is the day you (and we!) have been looking forward to.

Fundraise

Riders should begin fundraising with the help of PMC-provided tools as soon as they register and continue beyond the PMC Winter Cycle. The earlier you start fundraising, the more you can raise!

The fundraising minimum deadline is April 1, 2026, allowing riders to continue fundraising after the event.

Minimums & Commitment

Each PMC Winter Cycle rider has a fundraising minimum commitment of $500 per session.
