Want to ride bikes this weekend?

Consider joining us for the Second Annual Wheat Ridge Cyclery Livestrong Ride.


Details here:

The inaugural WRC Livestrong Ride, benefiting the Lance Armstrong Foundation (Livestrong), was one of biggest bike shop ride fundraisers in the U.S. in 2010.  Riders and friends of WRC helped put together a donation of over $10,000 for research to eradicate cancer!

This year we're doing it again and we welcome you to join us.  The ride leaves the shop under escort of Wheat Ridge and Lakewood Police Departments.  Escort continues to base of Dinosaur Ridge.  

Once over the ridge, there will be a fully stocked aid station in the lower north parking lot at Red Rocks.  At that point, riders are welcome to demo new 2011 bikes from our vendors, or to simply return to WRC.  Lunch will be served post-ride at WRC.

When: Saturday May 14, 2011.  Ride leaves WRC at 8:00 a.m.

Where:  WRC to Red Rocks and back. See map below. WRC is also hosting our annual Demo Day that morning at Red Rocks.

Cost: $75, with ALL proceeds going to the Lance Armstrong Foundation (Livestrong)

 Sarah and I will be there.  The link to this event is

How will we be getting to Red Rocks?  Above it mentions the police escort.  What isn't mentioned is this:

The LIVESTRONG Ride departs from Wheat Ridge Cyclery at 8:00am on Saturday morning, May 14th. Ron Kiefel, ex-Team 7-11 pro, Olympic medalist and seven-time Tour de France racer will lead out the ride. This is a fully supported ride . . a no-drop ride . . with a turnaround and water/refreshment stop in Red Rocks Park.

So, there you go.  Ride with one of the best.
At the end the local Livestrong crew will be serving up lunch.   If this isn't enough to convince you to join us, let me state that the entire $75 goes to Livestrong.  You get a GREAT swag-bag, that we helped stock this past weekend.  It includes a saddle bag, livestrong cycling cap, tube, and some other goodies.  ALL of that stuff was generously donated by Wheat Ridge Cyclery, which is what your donation to go completely to helping cancer survivors.


We are definitely a few riders short of our goal.  Hopefully see you there!
