Upcoming 2008 rides

Club Charity Rides

For more information on each ride see the web links, registration docs & info below. This list will be updated as the year progresses and as ride information becomes available.


Club Philosophy on Charity Events / Rides

As a group, we will strive to participate in at least 6 Charity rides within Texas each year. Charities that Cool Cats members actively support include: Animal Shelters; Women's and Children's Shelters; Diabetes, Cancer and MS research to name a few. Show our colors...ALWAYS WEAR YOUR COOL CATS JERSEY, SHORTS & SOCKS when riding in a charity event!!!

 

NOTE: This list shows those rides we have done in the past as a group, that some Cool Cats have done alone, and those that benefit charities…some just look like fun! The list will be updated as the year goes by and as more info becomes available. It is likely that on some of these dates there will be no local club ride (watch the web site local ride schedule and e-mails for details). In all of the below instances, where a ride is out of town, we will attempt to carpool and convoy to the ride where possible. Many Texas rides are listed on the Bicycle Texas web site…if there is a ride that you are planning to go to, and it’s not on our list below, please contact Bob or Della if you are willing to be the Ride Leader for the ride representing the Cool Cats…you will be responsible for carpool / convoy arrangements, etc. http://www.bicycletexas.com/tx_bike_rides.htm  When you browse the ride list on this site please check the date as many of the previous year’s rides are still listed. Bear in mind that some organizations don’t update their web site until a few months prior to an upcoming ride.
