Power-Stops:
All
rides are on public roads and fully supported with water and food
"power" stops.
On-Course Support:
Provided
by The Bike Way, The
Bike Rack,
and Trek Bicycle Stores. All riders are required to bring and wear a helmet while riding.
Proceeds:
Proceeds support Wear
Yellow Nebraska’s cancer fighting and cancer patient assistance programs such
as the Wear Yellow
Grant Program
and the Wear Yellow Cab
Ride Program.
The
Wear Yellow Cab Ride program is designed to provide a
free cab ride to cancer patients receiving treatments. Patients often rely on
family and friends to drive them to and from their appointments. Often times
family and friends are not available and patients end up skipping their
treatments because they do not have a ride. Our new program will fill the gap
and provide a ride when needed so that no treatments are missed.
The event is slated to begin at 7:00 a.m. Participants can
pre-register online or in
person the day of the event; however, day of event registrants will not receive
an event t-Shirt.
