CRCA/Sixcycle-RK&O
In the past two years, Team Sixcycle-RK&O has raised over $16,000 as part of the ride and, in doing so, has been awarded the Mayors Cup for most funds raised by a team. Additionally, Charlie Bird has been honored to read the ride’s traditional opening prayer for the 75 mile ride and 100 mile ride in 2012 and 2013, respectively. This year we have set an aggressive fundraising goal of $10,000.
In an attempt to reach our goal, this year we would once again like to extend an invitation to the cycling community to become a Sixcycle-RK&O team member for the weekend, fundraise under our name, and join us at the Tour. All team members will be invited to start the ride at the front of the pack and we’d be happy to host you pre and post race in our team tent.
