Ride Strong / LiveStrong!
The fourth annual Velo4Yellow charity bike ride, scheduled July 18, 2015 promises to be an exciting event, raising donations benefitting LiveStrong. Plan a full day to enjoy a 30, 60 or 100 mile fully supported bike ride followed by post ride festivities featuring live music by Last Man Standing and a buffet meal under tents on the lawn at the Carolina Ale House in Wake Forest, NC. Building on the success of our previous 3 years, Velo4Yellow 2015 is sure to be a memorable occasion you won’t want to miss!
The Gyros Cycling Club sponsors Velo4Yellow, partnering with the Carolina Ale House. The event is a way the club can give back to the community, and with the prevalence of cancer in society, LiveStrong is a great choice of benefactor. The club joined with the Carolina Ale House to get the event off the ground in 2012 with 300 riders participating, generating a $2500 LiveStrong donation. In 2013, ridership grew to just under 400 yielding a $7500 donation to LiveStrong. Ridership grew again in 2014 to 500 and donations since inception reached $20,000! The goal of Velo4Yellow 2015 is to sustain and grow both ridership and our LiveStrong contribution.
The Gyro’s philosophy is to provide a high quality event generating tons of excitement while making the entire day fun! Based on being voted the 2014 Best Charity Ride and 2014 Best Century Ride by Endurance Magazine readers, the event is meeting that goal! All three routes tour beautiful rural areas north of Raleigh and Wake Forest. With full SAG support and well-stocked and hosted rest stops, the event is sure to satisfy. The Gyro’s vision is to grow Velo4Yellow into a premier annual community event by hosting a memorable day for all participants!
Join the excitement, join the fun and become part of the success of a terrific cycling event! Get all the details and register at www.velo4yellow.com. And remember… Ride Strong / LiveStrong!
