“Our reboot program is a great opportunity to experience 24 Hours of Booty for the first time or for those wanting to ride who weren’t able to register after our event reached capacity,” says Basil Lyberg, executive director of 24 Hours of Booty. “We anticipate reboot spots to fill up quickly and encourage people to register now. There’s still time to train and fundraise.”
