Thumbs up 10th Annual Ice Cream Ride - YAAAAAAA!

It's back and bigger than ever. June 20th TEAM MSFITS will Host it's 10th Annual Ice Cream Ride - Co-sponsored by Biogen Idec -- at the Biogen facility at 5000 Davis Drive, RTP. We'll have a 25ish mile route and new this year -- a METRIC CENTURY route

The ride is again fully supported with SAG vehicles and stocked rest stops. Trek Bikes of Raleigh will be there in the a.m. to be sure we're all aired up and ready to go and Biogen is allowing us to use their beautiful facility and supplying ice cream for everyone!

There is no registration fee for this ride but donations will be accepted to cover costs - All proceeds will benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society!

Metric starts at 8:00 (sign in/waivers at 7:15)
25 miles starts at 9:00 (sign in/waivers at 8:30)

A flyer is attached and can also be obtained at our team web site: msfits . org

Please let us know you're comin' so we can have enough snax and ice cream! E-mail icecreamride10 at yahoo . com

This sounds like fun. I just rode by BioGen today on my lunch break bike ride. Since I'm not familiar with the area, I pretty much just ride down davis to harris teeter, cruise the neighborhood, and head back to work. I'll have to check out the routes listed for this ride. Would be nice to do something a little more put together than my normal boring up davis, down daivs ride. LOL Just might come out and check this one out. Did someone say ICE CREAM?

Hey, any chance the cue sheet will be made public before the event? A lot of us like to load the route into our Garmins.

We did this ride today. Opted for the short route because of the heat. This was a good ride, nice to have a stocked rest stop even on a short ride in this weather. Got to ride on some rides we don't usually ride on too, nice change of pace. Thanks to the MSFits for putting it on!

Scott and I also did the 24 mile route today.

Ice cream and air-conditioned cafeteria - a very good way to end a ride in today's heat!

I have it. If I get a chance this week I'll type it in and send it to you. Lots of turns, it crosses Davis Drive a lot.

Thanks for the ride Blanche. It was hot, but it was fun. Missed a few water stops at the front end, but was thankful for the oasis of fresh oranges at Green Level/55 with about 9 to go. The metric century was fun. Right up until I began cramping up Green Level

Great group of folks out riding, very good cues given by some very strong riders! (I learned some new ones!)

I think I found a new favorite Blue Bunny flavor; strawberry cheesecake. Yum!

See you next year!

I saved the metric century cue sheet if you'd like to have that. Not sure how much it differs from the other route.

Let me know if you'd like it.
