2009 ALS Ride at Cinemaworld in Lincoln

Time is running out to reserve a bike for the 2009 ALS ride at Cinemaworld in Lincoln on 2/7!

A fellow Spinning instructor, Joe Goddard, is riding from 8:30 AM to 7:30 PM on Saturday, February 7th. His personal goal is to raise $2000 for ALS!

In October of 2005, Jon Blais (Blazeman) became the first person with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) to finish an Ironman. He completed the 140.6 mile event (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 mile run) in 16.5 hours to honor all past and present PALS (people with ALS). As Blazeman "Kona Rolled" across the finish line in Hawaii, he challenged all endurance athletes to help find a cure for ALS. Please ride in support of Blazeman and all PALS on February 7, 2009.

There will be 10 bikes available with an instructor leading an hour long ride every 2 hours (starting at 8:30 AM). It's not too late to sign up for a ride or make a donation. If you can't make it to ride with us, you can donate at:

Bikes are being loaned out from Spin-Works with the generosity of Peter Vasconcellos. Come and join us for the ride of your life!
