911 Ride on the 10 Year Anniversary

Hey everyone, we're getting a bunch of Team Red folks together to do the 9/11 ride, sponsored by the YMCA of Chester County.  Registration is only $20 (or $25 on the day of the ride), and no fundraising is required.

The ride is on September 11 in West Chester.  Rides start between 8am and 2pm depending on your distance.  Routes are provided for 8, 15, 25, 42, and 80 miles.  And there are 1 and 5k walks as well.

Details provided on our Team Red Events page: http://teamredphilly.blogspot.com/p/events-rides.html#911ride

Rides start and finish from either West Chester (Airport Road) or Unionville (URA) - see ride maps here (at lower right of page).  All 911 ceremonies and festivities are at the West Chester start/finish area.

Let me know if you're planning on doing the ride.  I'll be riding the 40 mile loop out of the West Chester start/finish area - see route map here.  This ride departs at 8am, same-day registration starts at 7:30am.  You can choose any route you'd like, but I'd like to get as many Team Red riders together at the West Chester start/finish area as possible - and have groups doing the different distances together if we can.

Let's show our colors - wear your Red Rider or Tour de Cure jerseys!

Thanks,
k

    The ride maps are on the bottom right of the page.

    I'll be doing the 40 mile loop from YMCA, Airport Road - this is the West Chester starting area vs. the Unionville starting area. The West Chester start has the 911 ceremonies and other festivities.
