East Pasco Habitat is having a Charity Bicycle Ride in April
Tune up your bicycles, wipe off the dust and get ready to ride! We are very fortunate to have Phil Heffler, a Board Member of Frederick, Maryland Habitat for Humanity, step forward to manage a Charity Bike Ride for EPHFH on Sunday, April 6th. Phil has been putting on a 2-day bike ride for Frederick Habitat for 8 years and has offered to come down to Florida (in the winter, of course) to help us have our inaugural bike ride.
However, The Ride for Humanity will be a fun family event and/or we have other choices of rides for the more avid bicyclists. The event begins and ends at The Dade City Business Center in Dade City. There will be a 10 mile "We Are Family" ride-cost is $10 per person or $20 per family--what a deal! Then there is "The Pink M&M's 30 Mile Tour"--perfect for the weekend warrior! Just the right amount of hills and distance. Join Wesley Chapel's Mothers & More as they take you on this great 30 mile adventure. $20 entrance fee. Last, but not least, "The San Antonio Cyclery" Metric Century 62.5 mile ride. See why all Florida travels to Pasco County to ride! Beautiful, rolling scenery, speedy downhills and challenging climbs await you. Two rest stops, full SAG support, t-shirt and lunch......all for only $20! A fabulous lunch and live music after your ride at The Dade City Business Center!
We are aware that some bicyclists would rather ride The Withlacoochee Trail and we will offer that option to for all 3 rides. This will not be on our printed application but it will certainly be available!
In addition to the entrance fee, all riders are asked to raise a minimum of $100 in pledges for East Pasco Habitat--but don't stop there! Prizes will be awarded to all cyclists who raise over $500! It's real easy to do with Kintera, Inc., our fundraising website. Pledges are just an email away! A link to the fund-raising system will be made available on this website....www.ephabitat.org
The "races" that EPHFH had been involved in for the past 2 years will still be happening on February 16 and 17 in Dade City but Habitat is not producing the event. We will, however, be receiving a donation from the races --that is very generous of the promoters and we thank them for that! Be sure to come out to Dade City and watch those races in February-- they are very exciting!
East Pasco Habitat is committed to providing affordable housing opportunities to deserving families in need. Habitat challenges individuals, churches, foundations and other groups to join in a partnership with low-income families to change the conditions in which they live. The key word is partnership, for this is not just another housing program. Instead, those who need the homes work together with many volunteers to build simple, decent houses that cost less because they are sold with a no-interest, no-profit mortgage. Your participation in The Ride for Humanity benefits our cause.
Please join us on April 6th--we will have great fun!
