Bike Ride Fundraiser

3 Days  |  156 miles    -     West Virginia to Washington DC

RIDE DATES: September 28-30, 2012

Gears for Good is an annual charity bike ride to raise funds for the organization and promote health.

We encourage people with bleeding disorders to live healthy, active lifestyles. People with hemophilia, von Willebrand and other bleeding disorders who have strong and active bodies have less frequent and less painful bleeding episodes.

There is no cure yet for these rare, chronic conditions.  Medication is extremely expensive.

While there is much we can not control, we CAN do our part and strive to engage in healthy activities!

Gears for Good blends our belief in health and wellness with HFA’s need to raise funds to support its critical programs and services. Please support the ride and the cause!

 MORE INFO COMING SOON!


    

TERRAIN:  Level. Packed dirt and crushed  stone surface.  6-8 feet wide.  Mountain, hybrid or cyclo-cross bicycles required.

RATING:  Easy. The terrain is easy, but the distance on rough surface requires moderate fitness. You will be traveling on a nearly flat trail, dropping only at locks (8′ at each), for about 500′ elevation drop over 156 miles. You end at about sea level in Washington, DC.
