Breast Cancer Network of Strength Introduces the Ride to Empower!

The Ride to Empower is a destination bike ride, with fully-supported route lengths ranging from a 100-mile century to less than 32 miles.  The Ride will take place during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in Solvang, Calif., October 23-26, 2008, with the 1-day ride on October 25.  This area is a prominent training ground for professional cycling teams and serves as host for the Discovery Channel pro-cycling team’s first training camp of the year. All of this will make Breast Cancer Network of Strength's Ride to Empower an event you won’t want to miss.

The Ride to Empower offers the challenge to complete a long-distance cycling event, the opportunity to pay tribute to friends and loved ones touched by breast cancer, and an empowering and memorable 3-night and 4-day experience.  Once registered, riders receive access to an expert training program, provided by a USA Cycling certified coach, to help guide both interested and avid cyclists to success. 

All-inclusive riders are required to raise a minimum of $4,000, and in exchange for successful fundraising efforts, riders will receive airfare (from within the contiguous U.S.), accommodations at a 3-star hotel and all meals.

Network of Strength also offers a reduced fundraising package for riders opting to coordinate and fund their travel and bike transportation to the Ride to Empower location.

Breast Cancer Network of Strength (formerly known as Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization) will provide riders with fundraising tips and support to help riders meet their goals. Best of all, funds raised through the Ride to Empower will help Network of Strength ensure that no one faces breast cancer alone.
