I registered already but received no email back or anything. I can’t remember which distance I registered for. Whats the procedure after this.
Hi Michael -
You should have received a confirmation email if you registered online. If you did not, drop them an email (info@transalt.org). Since you registered early, you should get a ride packet in the mail a week or two before the ride, however if this doesn’t arrive you can pick it up on the day of the ride.

The distance you registered for is not final, and you may do whatever distance you wish on the day of the event.
This will be my 2nd NYC century and I can’t wait
Will be doing the 100 miler again. Last year it started 5:30 and boy I wished I had registered online (as I did this time) and skipped the half hour on-site registration wait.
They will be snail-mailing the bibs (just clip them on the back of your jersey) on August 25th.
