NOTICE: We have a glitch in our entry form that rejects some entries and sends a message back that it is suspected spam. The company that rebuilt our website is unable to find the problem as it works for the vast majority of people. If you get this message just enter the information on an email to annie@xprides.com or duck@xprides.com. The main thing is to let us know you are coming so we can plan on what supplies will be needed. If you have successfully entered in the past and we have your information all we need is a short email saying you are coming. We would also like to know what version of your operating system is, whether you are on a mac or PC and who your Internet Service Provider is. Hopefully we will eventually get this figured out. Thanks for your patience and support.
Entry fee and refund information is located at the bottom of the 2025 XP Rides page.
There is not an automatic confirmation reply to an entry. There will be an entry reply sent in the week before the ride when we have all the late breaking information available. You will also receive the .gpx files and other information in the week before the ride.
ENTRY FEES AND REFUND POLICY
The following is our basic fee structure for 2026:
The fees are higher for some California rides due to the higher costs of operating in that state. Rides that have higher fees will have those fees posted on the information pages for those rides.
LD and Endurance Distances are $135.00 / PayPal $140.50 per day.
Juniors, Intro riders and XP club riders are $100 / PayPal $104.00 per day
Riders who are not current members of AERC riding an AERC LD or Endurance ride pay an additional $20.00 non-member fee per day. $155.00 / PayPal $161.20
Riders who enter within 4 days of a ride add $10.00 post entry fee.
All we require to be registered for the ride is a prepayment for one day of riding. Even if you are planning on riding more days you only need to prepay for one day. There will be no post entry fee for riders that have made that first day’s payment. Why do we do this after over fifty years of just trusting people? It’s because we are getting more and more riders/people who seem to enter a ride and then never show up. This problem has now got to the place it has been almost 50% no shows at some rides. This often means we have to find a way to bring a third vehicle and order more food and awards than we need. I wish we could just go back to the simplicity of former years but we all live in a new world that I really don’t like.
There are no automatic entry replies. We send entry replies, along with ride information and .gpx files in the week before the ride as soon as we have all available information.
REFUND POLICY
Cancellation Refunds: Ride entry withdrawal requests received via email on/before 1800 on the 7th day prior to the first day of the ride will receive a full refund. There will be an administrative fee for refunds during the week prior to the ride. No refund for withdrawals within 48 hours prior to the start of the ride, or for no shows.
AERC has raised their non member fee to $20.00 per day. AERC non members are charged a day member fee of $20.00 to participate in the AERC sanctioned ride. This does not apply to the intro/fun/xp club rides.
Mail your checks to Ann Nicholson at 19898 Road V, Lewis, CO 81327 or you can use PayPal and send to entry@xprides.com. When you make the payment let us know by return email that you are coming and which days you are planning on riding.
