Get Ready for Eastern Sierra Century Cycle!Start training, because on Saturday, September 13, we hope you'll be pedaling one hundred miles through the scenic back country of the Eastern Sierra with your friends and family. This year's Century ride will be similar to last year's event in many ways: fully stocked SAG stops, on-course mechanical support, lightly-traveled country roads, beautiful scenery, a post-ride party, and lots of fun! A few things will be different, too--the ride will start at Whitmore Pool, and this year your entry fee will include an event t-shirt and a special commemorative patch! There will also be optional ride photos and a pre-ride dinner. Why the changes? The Mono Lake Committee has joined forces with the Sierra Cycling Foundation, a local foundation dedicated to improving the safety and quality of cycling in the Eastern Sierra. Their goals include bike path maintenance, rider safety, and distribution of helmets to young kids. There will be two ways to participate in this year's ride: you can pay a flat fee to enter ($35 single, $55 tandem, $25 short option) or you can help raise funds for the continued preservation and restoration of Mono Lake and contribute to bicycle safety programs, by getting sponsors and qualifying for fabulous prizes! We're still putting together the prizes, but you can count on them being great. So mark September 13 on your bicycle calendar, start training, and give Kay a call to request a fundraising kit or to ask for more information: (760) 647-6595 or send e-mail to Kay@monolake.org!
