Final Fifty Ride 2024 – Greenville, SC

Please join us for the Greenville Spinners 20th Annual Final 50 bike ride and cookout supporting SC AMBUCS charities. Your donation will help get kids on bicycles in the Upstate. SC AMBUCS provides adapted tricycles for children and veterans with disabilities in the Upstate.

We’re all passionate about our sport and this is an opportunity to share that passion with others in need right here in your community. All participants will enjoy a beautiful fully supported ride followed by a cookout & celebration including a hamburger (or veggie) and a beer (or soft drink).

Register online now to save money and time at check-in, or come early Saturday morning to get signed up without a wait. The ride distance is 55 miles with a shortcut available to make this a 26-mile (~50k) ride, so there is a distance for everyone. If you’re into easier riding options and still want to join the fun and support these great charities, we’ll have a Swamp Rabbit Trail map available for a nice, flat, self-guided option.

We, at Upstate SC AMBUCS, seek funding to provide adapted tricycles for people with lifelong mobility limitations. Our primary focus as an organization is serving children and veterans within the upstate. Each person is fit for their custom amtryke by a physical or occupational therapist to ensure it is not only fun, but therapeutic. A variety of adaptations are available to allow people of all abilities to be appropriately supported while riding. Our goal is to allow these people to build fond memories of riding, a sense of independence, and increase physical fitness.
