Nimble Benefit Ride for YWCA Sonoma County and Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition

August 22, 2010
Santa Rosa, CA

Yes, that's right....we are bringing back the "Break The Cycle" Ride! This is a fun, fun, fundraiser to help the YWCA Sonoma County in their efforts in empowering victims of domestic abuse and racism. It also helps raise funds for the Sonoma County Bicycle Coalition (SCBC), which tirelessly works to encourage cycling in the county.

Online registration for this event is now closed. You can register the morning of the event for $35 for the Family Routes and $110 for the longer routes.

The rides all start and finish in Julliard Park, Santa Rosa. Several courses to choose from, all include lunch and a super-cool cotton tee shirt.

• Family Course (14 miles) $35: Ride along the Joe Rodota Trail to West County Revolution. Take your time and enjoy the scenery. No matter what your riding level or bicycle type, this route is fun for all.
