  Aspen/Snowmass Ride for the Cure® A fundraising ride to fight breast cancer

When:

September 6, 2008

Where:

Koch Park, Aspen, Colorado

What:

A magnificent and challenging 100 mile route through Aspen and Snowmass Colorado.

In 2007, over 400 riders participated in the only century ride dedicated exclusively to fighting breast cancer. Riders are encouraged to choose their challenge and ride as far as possible whether it’s 100 miles or one mile.

Shorter, flatter route option available. The route is 30 miles from the Woody Creek Tavern to St. Benedict’s Monastery and back into Aspen to end at Koch Park. It starts at the Tavern, just in time to catch up with the 100 milers.

The Ride is fully supported with sag wagons, medical and mechanical services and cheerleaders! Plus we offer aide stations throughout the course with great food and fun. Registration includes Friday night dinner, breakfast and lunch on Saturday and a great finish line party in the heart of Aspen with free music, beer, fabulous food, smoothie bar, free massages, and fun activities for the kids.

How:

The Aspen/Snowmass Ride for the Cure® is a fundraising event first, and a bike ride second. Registration includes a committment by each Rider to raise at least $500. We provide easy online fundraising tools, including your own personal donation page. Check our Fund-raising Tips for some handy tips. The earlier you start fund-raising the easier it is.

Why:

Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the United States. Every day, nearly 600 women are diagnosed with breast cancer and over 100 women die from the disease.

The money raised supports the Aspen Affiliate of Susan G. Komen For The Cure® and its promise to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality health care for all and energizing science to find the cures. Join the Ride and help provide hundreds of women, who might not otherwise be able to afford it, the opportunity for annual breast exams, low-cost or no-cost mammograms and diagnostic ultrasound screenings, as well as educational materials on the benefits of early detection.
