On October 11,2008, 2500 riders will strike out from Irvine, Ca. (Orange County) and finishing in San Diego, Ca. with an overnight stay and festival in Carlsbad. Total ride will be 150 miles over the two days. While the ride would be fun to do anyway, the reason behind this event is to raise $1,000,000 in the fight to find a cure for MS.
This ride was known as the MS150, and is one of over 100 such rides in the US to benefit MS. The new name for the ride is Bike to the Finish and this tour is specifically known as the Bay to Bay Tour. For details go here.
Pat's 605 Cyclery is a key sponsor of the event, providing discounts on all products (except bicycles) to participants in the ride. In addition Pat's is hosting training rides on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, and will be doing a safety class.
Pat's is also hoping to get a team together for the tour. Each team member would raise money for MS, but MS provides a detailed instruction for how to do that. It will be easy to raise the needed funds. If you would be interested in being a member of the Pat's 605 team for the Bike to the Finish event, please call 562-864-0740 or e-mail patscycle@verizon.net. Of course, you can come by the store to register also.
