We're building our our 2010 Ride Calendar. The first to be scheduled is our July factory ride:
July 17,2010 - with the Evanston Bike Club and the KR Bike Club. We'll tour the beautiful countryside around Waterford. It's the last free weekend before Ragbrai, and a great way to top off your prep miles. With courses up 62 miles, you'll be joining a fun group of friends on some great terrain. Though we get some fast groups (18mph plus), most people ride in the 13-16mph range. Factory tours from 8-8:30AM; the ride starts at 9AM. There is SAG support. There's no fee, but a waiver signoff is required.
Million Mile Freddie on a Roll!
Freddie Hoffman (left) stops in Revolution Cycles - Clarendon, Virginia. He's shown here with Revolution's General Manager, Darrin Misiera, who provided support for Freddie while in the Washington, DC area."
Every year, Freddie Hoffman conducts a fundraising ride on behalf of some pretty important charities - for him and for us - the Leukemia / Lymphoma Society and the Alzheimer's Foundation. This ride will raise over $100,000 for these worthy causes.
This year, Freddie's heading south and plans from his home in northern New Jersay all the way to West Palm beach. We caught up with him while he was visiting on of our favorite shops - Revolution Cycles in Clarendon, Virgina.
In spite of the headwinds and 100 degree heat, Freddie typically covers 100 miles a day, stopping to help raise awareness for these causes. During this ride, Freddie will meet with three governors (South Carolina, Georgia and Florida) as well as the media in several cities.
