Our 50 Mile Ride events have been successful because of the groundswell of support from riders, their friends and family, and local OC bike shops. We're counting on that same "grassroots spirit" to rise up again this year. You can get involved too! Rally your friends and family to help - we have lots of opportunities this year.
Here's 7 ways to help:
1 - Sign up to ride
Registration begins November 2010.
2 - Donate supplies or raffle prizes
