July 4 - 26, "Tour de Sacramento" Fun Ride

The Tour de Sacramento will be a way for Sacramentans to get in on all the fun that cycling, and their city, has to offer. The event will coincide with the world’s greatest cycling event: Tour de France, which runs from July 4th through July 26th. Since we can’t all make it out to Europe to participate, we are planning a three week event that will bring all the cycling excitement to our hometown.

Benefiting the local charities Cycles4Hope and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Sacramento the Tour de Sacramento will allow both seasoned cyclists and newbies the opportunity to participate in a fun cycling event geared towards those looking to have some laughs while getting their heart rate up. Those who sign up for the event will be invited to attend the various fun cycling activities we have planned throughout the three week event.  Events include a Safe Cycling Clinic by Ycycle.org.

Each week the Tour de Sacramento participants will meet up with Dawn and professional cycle coach, Myron Dong (of Ycycle.org), for one or two rides throughout Sacramento. These rides will be both challenging and fun, taking cyclists on standard bike trails and around city streets as well. We’ll scope out all that our city has to offer, visiting landmarks, local businesses and fun food establishments (you can’t have an athletic event without a pitstop...or eight).

For a small fee every Tour de Sacramento cyclist will receive personalized training advice, a commemorative t-shirt, an autographed copy of Dawn’s book and an adventure they won’t soon forget. There will be special prizes awarded to those who complete all the scheduled rides, as well as fun rewards for improving over our three week event. You don’t have to be an elite athlete to ride in the Tour de Sacramento you just have to have a bike, a good attitude and a desire to have some fun on wheels this July.
