WANTED: 20 Riders by August 1st!!!!!

We have 6 riders registered as of July 25th. We want more - including YOU! 20 riders wanted by August 1. If you haven't yet registered, please consider doing so and recruit friends! Get a team together, have more fun, and make a bigger difference in spreading Bpeace's mission.

TEAM DETAILS: Choose a Team Leader (maybe this is you, or perhaps a cheerleading friend of yours), then assemble as many friends, coworkers, or strangers as you want and begin training and fundraising together. Check with your employer to see if they will contribute to your fundraising efforts by matching what you raise as a team. Each rider still needs to meet the minimum fundraising requirement of $250, though when done as a team, the amount raised is much greater than as an individual. The Team Leader will get weekly fundraising and riding tips to share with their team, a special prize TBD, and the satisfaction of helping to motivate a group of people for a good cause.

WEEKLY TRAINING TIP #2:
Hopefully you've been riding already. With your Pedal distance in mind, establish a training schedule. Aim for 8-12 hours/week of riding if you are a beginner. Ride 3-5 days/week, with 2-3 days of easy distance, and 1-2 days of intervals or harder riding. An example of an interval workout is 2 x 10 minutes at a comfortably hard (anaerobic threshold) pace within a 1 1/2-2 hour ride.

WEEKLY FUNDRAISING TIP #2:
Things to do at work: Put a can on your desk for donations from coworkers. Work with your HR department to have a dress down day at work, where colleagues pay $10 to wear jeans and the money goes to your fundraising total.
