Tour de Max - Sunday, August 14, 2005
Ride For A Reason! Team Tour de Max brings you a special opportunity to enjoy some of the best roads on the Peninsula...from the rolling bike lanes of Portola Valley to the beach to some of the best climbs around! The Tour de Max is a fully-supported tour of the San Francisco Bay peninsula, with three routes (15-mile, 30-mile, Metric Century) for riders of all abilities. It's not over after the ride! We're combining the rides with a special screening of the cult bicycling movie "The Tour Baby", a reception with great food & cash bar, and a great silent auction...this is really a celebration of cycling! What's le Tour de Max About? Maximum fun. Maximum challenge. Maximum opportunity to own bits of cycling history (& other cool schwag). Maximum benefit for the great programs sponsored by the Lance Armstrong Foundation. At least 80% of rider proceeds go directly to LAF; this is a tax-deductable ride! We are organizing this ride in loving memory of Max Yonker. She was 34 when she was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and after 8.5 years of her valiant battle, she passed on 21 May 2005. Max taught us the meaning of LiveSTRONG and "Attitude is Everything". Max's secret was that she refused to let her cancer define her life. She had a huge impact on everyone who knew her. See www.tourdemax.org for details! -- Thomas Yonker


This looks very cool - great routes through Woodside/ Portola Valley/ Palo Alto - one of my favorite areas to ride - followed by a screening of "The Tour Baby", and a silent auction to benefit LAF.

Anyone else interested?
