We are very excited for you to join us in 2023, and want to share a few details before you start your application for cross-country trips and Drift West.

1. This application is for both Rider and Trip Leader applicants. Rider spots are open on a first come, first served basis until trips are full. Leader applicants will be contacted to schedule an interview for the position. For more information on the Leadership role, click here.

2. Once you have applied to be a rider, you will be enrolled on a trip within 72 hours.

3. Our cross-country and regional trips are open to young adults between the ages of 18-29 at the time of their program start date.

4. There is a $75 registration fee due at the end of this online application, which secures your spot on a trip, covers the cost of your trip jersey, a sleeping pad, your Build Day T shirt, bike lights, and other items.

4. In order to participate in a Bike & Build program, you must carry personal medical insurance for the duration of your selected program.

5. For the safety of our trip participants and the residents of the communities we travel through, Bike & Build requires that all participants be vaccinated against COVID-19 (and boosted, if applicable) prior to their orientation date.

This application should take 30 minutes. If you have any questions about the application or our programs in general, please email us at [email protected]

Best Regards,

Cori Callahan, Program Director (she/her)

WARNING

Cycling across the country is a genuinely dangerous thing to do. Our website, brochures, Facebook page, Instagram account, and other promotional materials are written in a light-hearted fashion but do not underestimate the risks involved in taking part in this adventure. Individuals who have taken part in the past have been seriously injured and four riders have lost their life. Cycling is an inherently dangerous activity that can result in serious injury or death. Riding a bicycle from coast to coast over varying terrain, cityscapes, driver awareness levels, and types of road is by its very nature, audacious and venturesome. You should know, understand, and own responsibility for the risks inherent in what you are about to do.

- I understand that my participation in a Bike & Build event is an inherently dangerous activity, which may result in serious bodily injury, including permanent disability, paralysis, and death.
