Registration is $45. Members of the GGTA receive a $10 discount, and riders can join the GGTA when they sign up for the ride. Registration for a child under 17 years old is $5 with a paid adult. Riders are welcome to sign up on the day of the ride, but T-shirts will be given out only as long as they last.
