From the Organizer
Breakthrough Challenge social rides are hosted by our sponsor, Trek Bicycle Ardmore, and organized by the Beam of Life team.
The ride is free, and open to all. It is a great opportunity meet other riders and to get in training miles as you prepare for this year's Breakthrough Challenge! This is also a great opportunity to join us for a ride, if you cannot make our Breakthrough Challenge event in September.
We are offer two no-drop route options (12 miles and 25 miles) through nearby Main Line communities, assuming we have enough registrations for each route. Actual routes will be determined by the ride leader, and may vary slightly from the route maps below.
The Trek store is located at 47 West Lancaster Ave; with parking in the community parking lot at the rear of the store. Entry to the community parking lot is via Ardmore Avenue.
Helmets are required! Please be sure that your bike is in "ready to ride" condition, as Trek will not be open for service or repairs at that hour.
Registrations will be limited for these rides, so register now! (you need not be registered for the Breakthrough Challenge event on September 27th).
We look forward to riding with you!
