Ride the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito with Lance Armstrong
Well, you'll need to part with some big bucks to do it, but you can participate in the first-ever bike race that crosses the Golden Gate Bridge as part of the Amgen Tour of California on February 16. And you'll get to do it in the peleton behind 7-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong.
For $500.00 you get to ride with Lance, and proceeds from this Sausalito fundraiser will help underwrite the expense of hosting the Race as well as support Race beneficiaries – Sausalito Bikes for Kids (see below), Trips for Kids and the Marin County Bicycle Coalition.
If you don't have the spare $500, you can always check out our page on riding the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito.
The first 75 people to sign up to ride with Lance will get a free commemorative jersey, and all participants in the ride get two tickets to the Biker's Brunch that is part of the event.
Further information on the event and how to sign up can be found here on the Tour of California website.
Since they don't have a website to link to yet, here's more about Sausalito Bikes for Kids: Sausalito Bikes for Kids was established last year to provide age appropriate bicycles for Sausalito/Marin City elementary school children who “earned” new bikes and helmets by completing an educational curriculum that focused on bike safety, health and fitness. Last year 135 children earned brand new bicycles. This year the proceeds from the program will go to create the first-ever Bike Club at an elementary school in Northern California. Sausalito school children who complete the educational curriculum this year will be charter members of the the Bike Club which will provide loaner bicycles, bike trips and bike storage at the schools. Share a special gift by donating $50, $100, or $200 towards the Sausalito Bikes for Kids program at 420 Litho Street, Sausalito, CA 94965, phone 415-289-4126.
