Hello Revolution 2007 Participants,
WHAT A DAY!
Nature provided perfect fall weather - clear sunny skies with a light
breeze carrying the scent of grapes still hanging on the vine. Over
200 cyclists of all ages and abilities challenged themselves with
routes of varying lengths through the stunning Sonoma wine country
landscape, collectively covering over 10,000 miles by the end of the
day. Everyone gathered to celebrate their achievements at the Food and
Wine Festival back at Trentadue Winery, where the music was playing,
champagne was flowing, massage tables stood ready, and a gourmet wine
country buffet spread was waiting. Yes, the party was as usual, a blast.
THANK YOU
Thank you, riders, for making Revolution 2007 such a success!
Together, you have raised an impressive $145,000 to date, and that
number is still climbing. Most importantly, the money you raised will
go to support BORP, the Bay Area's premier disability sport
organization. Your efforts will help empower people with disabilities
to live active, ability-focused lives.
Thank you to our sponsors, whose generous support helps make this
event possible. Whether it is underwriting the cost of the event or
providing product donations to help stock the rest stops, support from
our sponsors means more money goes to BORP's programs.
Of course we couldn't have done it without all of our dedicated
volunteers. Many of them gave their entire weekend to help with the
event. They kept our riders safe, fed and on course. And then our
legion of wonderful volunteer massage therapists worked out everyone's
kinks at the end of the ride. Thank you all for your hard work!
IT'S NOT OVER YET...
