Breast Cancer Awareness Ride In Tucson

In partnership with Trek Women, Trek Bicycles of Tucson is hosting the Breast Cancer Awareness Ride this coming Saturday, October 10^th. The ride is a non-competitive, family-friendly fundraiser with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). This is part of a national effort that aims to increase awareness for breast cancer prevention, screening, and treatment by encouraging women, men, and children of all ages and abilities to ride on the same day, at the same time, all over the country. Read on for more information, and please feel free to spread the word far and wide. Sincerely, John Bilderbeck

What, when, & how:

• 10 and 25 mile ride options available. We've designed two fun, light-traffic routes within central Tucson. Each ride option will have leaders, sag riders, and a support vehicle.
