Ride For Relief. Benefiting Those Suffering in Haiti.

On Sunday, February 28th 2010 the Tricyclists Bicycle Racing Club will be hosting a benefit bike ride for people suffering in Haiti. The minimum donation will be $10.00, collected on the day of the event. The ride will begin at 9:00AM from the Open Eye Café in Carrboro. Check in will begin at 8:00AM. We will be riding to Saxapahaw and back to Carrboro with one rest stop at the Sawapahaw General Store for light snacks and bottle refills. Although some riders may ride at a faster pace than others, this is NOT a race. Please ride at your own ability and join area cyclists to help raise funds to benefit the many people suffering in Haiti.

NC 2010 Calendar is here: http://www.ncsccycl ingassoc. com/

On Sunday, January 3rd 2010 at 9AM, BikeMS Team Open Eye is hosting a
New Year’s resolution metric century ride. The ride will span just
over 62 miles and travel through the Dairyland, Saxapahaw, and Collins “Mountain” area. There are multiple gas stations along the route to refill on water, Gatorade, and food. Food and water is not provided along the route, so please plan in advance and bring enough calories to get you through. After the ride, we will all enjoy some tasty homemade chili, coffee, and some great breads, and other various food and drink items.

The ride will leave The Open Eye Cafe in Carrboro NC at 9am sharp!
This is a no drop ride. We will however split up into two to three
different paced groups (depending on turnout), each with a designated
group leader. Cue Sheets will be provided on site as well. After the
ride, homemade chili, drinks, and other various lunch items will be
provided by friends of BikeMS Team Open Eye in the back private room
of the cafe. The Open Eye will be providing coffee, gourmet breads,
and of course the space for us to eat. There will also be beer and
wine for purchase if you wish to partake in that.

The main reason of this ride is to get the team and all of our friends
together for a fun winter “polar bear” ride, and to kick off the New
Year in a healthy manner. Secondarily, the team also exists to raise
money that goes to fight MS. Keeping that in mind, there is a $10
suggested donation for participants who wish to stay after the ride
and eat with us. Last year, Team Open Eye raised around $15,000 in
our very first year of existence. This fundraising event will be the
first of many for us in the nine month drive in 2010.

IF YOU PLAN TO ATTEND…….(or if there are any additional questions)…….
…..then please RSVP to this email (msteamopeneye@gmail.com), and let
me know if you’ll be bringing any friends along with you (we need to
know how much chili to cook).

Weekend training rides start time have moved to 9am. Cross season is almost here, and fixies will be a fixture soon.
