Cycle for Life… 2008 – This weekend!

October 15, 2008

Hello Friends,

We hope everyone is doing great!

Cycle for Life 2008
This Saturday, October 18 is the “Cycle for Life…2008” Hanover Park Ride. This is such a nice ride and is for such a good cause that it is included in the Mocktoberfest celebration this year! Mock Orange Bikes is proud to have been involved with this ride since its inception in 2004. This is a great ride and it supports the North Carolina Stroke Association’s Partnership Grant Program and has become quite a fund-raiser for this organization. There is a 25 mile, a 40 mile, and a 65 mile option, so you can do a long day in the saddle or head in early if you want. Lunch is provided after the ride and the winery will be open as well. This year’s ride should be awesome because it looks like the weather will be spectacular this weekend. Definitely plan to participate in this one! Please visit http://www.ncstroke.org/ for more information and start times. We’ll see you this weekend at “Cycle for Life…2008”!
Return of the Salem Lake Night Rides
Next Wednesday, October 22, marks the beginning of this year’s Salem Lake evening rides. These rides are much fun. We will be meeting at the shop at 6 pm each Wednesday through the cooler months for a lap or two around the lake. It’s important to note that it is not nearly as cold outside when you are in good company! The ride itself will leave the shop, head up Brookstown Ave. and ride into town, hit the greenway, cruise over to and around the lake, then retrace the route back to the shop. There will be both an “A” group and a “B” group for this ride, so no one will ever ride alone. This ride is very much cyclocross bike friendly, but you can ride your mountain bike or hybrid model as well. You can ride your road bike if you want! Lights are highly recommended for this ride since we will be running low on daylight. Keep your wheels turning this fall at the Wednesday evening Mock Orange Salem Lake ride!
Cyclocross-dress Jamboree
Also, the annual Cyclocross-dress Jamboree is coming! The event is Saturday, October 25. The pre-race meeting begins at 8 pm at the shop. Costume is required for race entry.

Thanks and we’ll see you soon!
