LYONS – You may have heard the exciting news that Centurion Cycling is kicking off its 2010 season with a huge bicycle ride on July 18 starting and ending in Lyons. The Lyons Community Foundation plans to be a part of it and we need your help. For every 25 to 30 LCF volunteers, Centurion will donate $500 to your favorite foundation, the LCF. Sign up today and if we could get 100 volunteers, the LCF would end up with $2,000.
The ride will start in Lyons and there are three courses: 25, 50, and 100 miles. The organizers are looking for over 400 volunteers, so there are lots of jobs to choose from, many at Bohn Park on July 17 or 18 (or in Boulder on July 14). All you need to do for LCF to get credit is go the Centurion web site at www.centurioncycling.com and click on Volunteer and then on Colorado Volunteering. This will show you all the jobs that are available. Check the job you want to volunteer for and then at the bottom of the page, right below T-shirt size, in the box next to “If you are associated with a group or organization, please list the name here:” enter “Lyons Community Foundation.”
Please also send a note to Dorothy Pellouchoud (dorothypellouchoud@gmail.com) letting her know that you’ve signed up so that the LCF can keep track of how
many volunteers we have and be sure to get credit. Or stop by Steamboat Mountain Natural Foods to put your name on our list.
As a special incentive, if you volunteer, Centurion will waive your registration fee for the event (valued at $60 to $125). The 50- and 100-mile routes are tough mountain rides so you’d better be in shape, but the 25-mile loop is a favorite flat training ride for local cyclists.
This will be one of the most exciting events of the summer in Lyons and LCF will be proudly displayed with our volunteers, banners, and brochures. It’s all part of making Lyons the most exciting spot on the Front Range. Please sign up today and list Lyons Community Foundation as your group.
If you have any questions, talk to Dorothy Pellouchoud at Steamboat Mountain Natural Foods or call Bill Palmer at 823-8284.
