You’ve done the BIG rides of Texas. Hotter ‘N Hell Hundred. MS150 Houston to Austin. Ride for the Roses/Livestrong. You may have even adventured out of state for RAGBRAI, or the Triple Bypass. You’ve earned the bragging rights that go with being a strong rider. Well, we’ve got a NEW ride for you.

The Pedal 2 Paris is a simple ride in the “gran fondo” tradition (Italian for Big Ride). A 150 mile one-day cycling adventure on quiet, country roads. We’ll ride 75 miles from Blue Ridge TX to Paris TX, with fully supported break points. Once we arrive in Paris, we’ll ride the 75 miles back to Blue Ridge for a BIG finish. We’ll also feature a small slice of time trial (using chip timing) on both the outgoing and returning routes. Great prizes, great hospitality and good support.

To make sure that we really take good care of our cyclists, we are limiting the field to the first 200 riders who register. We will also have a 12 hour time limit on the route – with the route open from 7am until 7pm on October 23, 2010.

Email: teamlivestrong@livestrong.org


Additional Info:

One of the highlights of the LIVESTRONG Challenge is the “yellow mile” where participants are welcomed home by friends and family, while being cheered on by volunteers and staff for their personal accomplishments. Surrounded by the color which has inspired and empowered Lance and millions of others, each cancer survivor is given a yellow rose when they cross the finish line to commemorate their survivorship. And we strive to make sure that each participant feels as recognized as the first finisher.

Afterward, finishers, along with their friends and family, are encouraged to hang out, enjoy the food and entertainment provided at the post-event party and share stories of your LIVESTRONG experience with other participants.
