Want to help fight diseases and ride your bike at the same time? Well here is your chance. There are two separate bike rides scheduled to help fight cancer and diabetes.
The Wear Yellow Nebraska bike ride is scheduled for May 21, 2011 and will take place around Chalco Hills. There is a $30 entry fee and you can choose to ride a distance of 6, 12, 30, or 52 miles. There will be raffles, door prizes, a tshirt, a breakfast (I believe it is the pancake guy that usually follows BRAN around?), etc. I did the Rollin to Colon ride last year and had a lot of fun. It is a very laid back ride, not a race. People of all ages and skill levels were out there.

The second ride is the Tour de Cure ride to help fight diabetes. The ride date for that is May 22, 2011. It is mandatory for riders to raise $150 for that ride. If interested, there is one last free registration night where they waive the entry fee (you still have to come up with $150). That night is May 12, 2011 at Nebraska Brewing Company from 5:30-7:00pm. I went to one of these at Crave in Midtown, ended up winning the raffle for a really nice biking jacket with their logo!
Tour de Cure - Nebraska
If you can't make either of the rides, donations are always welcome. Paul still needs help raising his $150 for the Tour de Cure. You can find his page
here. Help the guy out will ya? For those of you that know him, he puts a ton of time in trailwork and always provides a place to meet after MNRs. He always has cold beers in his fridge and has never asked for money. Crunch time is near and he needs another $65 to make the minimum fee. If you don't know him, but still want to sponsor a rider, then I'm open to donations also.
Here is my page for online donation. Thank you readers, friends, and fellow bike riders!!!
