   It's That Time of Year...
As the season begins to change the days begin getting shorter. Many rides are moving their evening start times back to enjoy as much ride time as they can before dusk. Every effort is made to keep the ride postings accurate but at this time of the year things can change faster than I can keep up. Take a minute and contact the ride leader if you’re not sure about a rides posted start time. If you find a post on this site that isn't correct please let me know as soon as possible...I make most changes within hours. |

1st Annual Troutman Ride & Stride
September 12, 2010 This JDRF event will be held at Troutman Middle School and is hosted by Watermark Church. We are excited to offer four options for participants: an organized bike ride of 50 or 25 miles, and organized walks of 5k and 1 mile fun walk. The event will also feature celebrity appearances, live music by Main Channel, food by Outback Steakhouse, and prizes.
The idea of the “Ride and Stride” comes from eleven year old Carson LaBelle who wanted to raise money in honor of her two cousins who have both been diagnosed with Juvenile Diabetes and will spend a lifetime fighting this disease. Although the event comes from her desire to help these boys, 100% of the proceeds will go to the Charlotte Chapter of JDRF. It is our desire for the Troutman Ride and Stride to make a significant donation to the research and cure of this debilitating disease. |
