Ride for the Kids 2015

I just received this e-mail.  I did this ride last year.  It was well supported and had great prizes.

-----------

Hey everyone, we are in full swing with the 2015 Ride for the Kids. Please mark your calendars for Saturday August 15th. The ride will begin at 8am and this year we will have several different ride options depending on the riders level of expertise. There will be rides ranging from 25-100 miles. The object is to get as many people as possible to come join us in this great cause.

We have vendors who have committed some great prizes and great food..

Attached below is a flyer. We would appreciate it if you would please post it on your Facebook or Twitter page. We are striving to raise $7500 for Make-A-Wish and we will need at least 200 riders to make it happen. Thanks to all of your help last year I presented MAKE -A- WISH a check for $3,800. Lets double it!

I have already sent in a request to have the ride advertised with cycling utah.com, but need your help to get the word out to as many people and bike shops as possible.  If you know of a young person who lives locally, and is struggling with cancer, please let me know. We are looking for someone to sponsor.

We are looking to make this a great annual event. We need your support!! Please spread the word. 

Thanks to all,

Brent

Biker's Edge Cinco de May Century

Thank you to Biker's Edge for putting on another great early season ride.  

Check out the Cinco de Mayo Century at this link:  http://bebikes.com/events/cinco-de-mayo-2015/

The Cinco de Mayo Century presented by America First Credit Union.

MAY 2nd, 2015

7:30am 100 Miler

8:00am 50 Miler

Join us on May 2nd, 2015 for a fully supported 50 or 100 mile ride!  This event is completely free and is our way of saying thank you for being such great and loyal customers!

The Cinco de Mayo ride was born to encourage all levels of riders to come out and meet the community of fellow cyclists.  Both routes are relatively flat making it a great opportunity for any hesitant cyclist.  The courses will be followed by your favorite mechanics from Bikers Edge to help with any maintenance issues along the way.

To ask questions, stay up to date, and to be aware of changes, follow us on Facebook and Instagram @thebikersedge!  We will post any and all changes to the event on Facebook – plus, you’ll always be the first to know about shop sales and discounts!  Hope to see you out there and ride safe!  Be sure to register before we cap at 300 participants!

How do I join?

So, how do you join the Wasatch Wheelmen?  This is so easy a caveman could do it. 
    There are no scheduled weekly rides.  All of our rides are organized by our members.  Go to our club page on Strava.  All you do is post when and where you are riding and other members of the club post if they would like to join you.  Nothing fancy.  This club is simply a place for you to find someone to ride with. We don't have a scheduled time for weekly rides.  Ride when it fits into your schedule.  We do post a few of the major events on our calendar, but most of our rides are set up by our members.
   To be a member in good standing all you are required to do is to plan, organize, and carry out one group ride each year.  It could be as simple as an early spring ride on the Legacy Parkway trail or as complicated as a multi-day ride across the state.  
    No meetings, no fund raisers, no dues, no hassles, no forms to fill out.  Just go out and ride.  That's it.  

Man of Stihl Ride - Sept 27th

Man of STIHL is a charitable 62-mile (100km) metric century ride, with an optional 30-mile route, organized by Croft Sales and Service in Bountiful, Utah. With a great love and concern for the community, Croft Sales and Service organized Man of STIHL to bring the community together and to support the Davis Education Foundation. Those who participate in Man of STIHL are able to heed the innate hero within them as they ride for a worthy cause.
