Thank You for the Record Attendance at the 2010 San Diego Century Bicycle Tour

Another attendance record in 2010!

Thank you for participating in the 4th annual San Diego Century Bicycle Tour. We had a beautiful day and another record group of riders in attendance. Thank you for all the five star reviews and the comments like we heard from kissman:


"This one is one of the best. Good job and see you next year."


We especially appreciate all the suggestions. Please email us, fill out the active.com review or stay tuned for our survey if you have any more thoughts for next year. A big thank you also goes out to our sponsors, "Ride With" athletes, charities (CAF, MS and Tour de H2O) our volunteers and the staff for a great ride in 2010!

How to get a 2010 Jersey, Registration and More...

 







The 2010 jersey sold out, but we are ordering more.

With the sold-out (yes, we sold out) response to the 2010 jersey, and the requests for more we will be opening up for more jersey orders.  Check back for details next week and an order link.

Are you planning on riding the San Diego Century Bicycle Tour in 2011? Next week we will also open up a limited time, early registration offer for all 2010 participants.  If you weren't able to ride in 2010 and you're interested in 2011 be sure to sign up on the right for our email list.

Do you have thoughts or ideas that can help us make 2011 even better? Next week we will be launching a survey to help make our blog, the newsletters and the ride even better for you in 2011. Be quick on the click and participate in the survey as we'll have some nice surprises for the first survey respondents.

More next week...

How CAF Fundraisers Get Free Entry to the San Diego Century


If you're already fundraising for CAF, or even beginning the process for this great cause, then be sure to participate in the San Diego Century on May 22.

Your entry for the San Diego Century Bicycle Tour is free if you raise $500 or more by May 21st.


Not only that, but you'll get a chance to meet and ride with some incredible athletes who will be joining the ride, including:

Jim Penseyres, and
Dan Oakland

Make your San Diego Century Bicycle Tour even more meaningful this year by helping The Challenged Athletes Foundation to change the lives of challenged athletes. The Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) raises money to help people with physical disabilities pursue an active lifestyle through physical fitness and athletics. CAF's mission is clear: give those with the desire to live active, competitive lifestyles every opportunity to compete in the sports they love. The funds your raise will pay for handcycles, sports chairs, running prosthetics, and training and competition expenses for physically challenged athletes.

Sign up to fundraise and you'll get your own fundraising webpage, a cool Race for a Reason training t-shirt, and a free San Diego Century Bicycle Tour entry for anyone who raises $500 or more by May 21st.

CAF is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization. Your donation is tax-deductible, and you can feel safe that your donation will directly assist challenged athletes around the world. Based on our most recent audited financial statement, more than 80 cents of every dollar raised is used by CAF to support its athletes.
