photos from AID#3 have been added in photo gallery
WAS THAT A FUN WEEKEND OR WHAT?
Just under a thousand cyclists enjoyed the beauty and wonder of canyon country at the Moab Century Tour while bringing focus and awareness to the cancer cause.
Thanks to you, $7,270 will be donated to the Moab Cancer Treatment and Resource Center and $620 will be donated to the Diana Price-Fish Cancer Foundation for Colorado Adult Cancer Patients, plus $125 will be donated to the Grand Foundation for Higher Education (the coins some of you purchased).
In addition to all of that….join us in recognizing two groups who used this event to raise additional funds for causes close to their hearts:
APPLAUSE….APPLAUSE…..APPLAUSE
The Team In Training Rocky Mountain and Utah Chapters raised $98,282 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society and the Diana Price-Fish Cancer Foundation participants raised $12,100.
Some Event Statistics and Roundup:
- New location of Swanny City Park was appreciated by many, though the absent Friday night pasta dinner was missed by a few
- Alternate Rolling Route on scenic Highway 128 was a hit! Those who wanted to climb felt the challenge with the “big nasty” but the rolling route wasn’t exactly flat, was it?
- Just under a thousand people attended: 56% males, 39% females, and 3% unknown. This always makes us wonder.
- 49% are from Colorado with balance from 27 other states. One Canadian and One United Kingdom citizen attended.
- As far as we know, the only campaigning on the route came from people begging for the 2006 “Now That’s Nasty” jersey once they were sold out.
- The driver on Hwy 128 that appeared intoxicated was apprehended. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation in filing police reports and following necessary guidelines.
- Photos by Moab Action Shots www.moabactionshots.com available. Additional photos taken by Janet Deane at AID station 3 (Heaven’s Overlook) available now in our photo gallery.
