2012 Cherry-Roubaix Charity Ride benefiting the Munson Women’s Cancer Fund

Saturday Aug 11th, 2012

Cherry-Roubaix is not just for road racers. We also welcome the recreational cyclists to join us for the second annual Charity Ride on Old Mission Peninsula.

The Munson Women’s Cancer Fund benefits from this year’s ride on Saturday, August 13th. This will be a “friendly” ride that offers all levels of cyclists the opportunity to participate in a dedicated route of 20 or 43 miles.

Riders will enjoy the beautiful scenery of Old Mission Peninsula. All riders will be lured to take respite under the pines on the stately veranda of the Bowers Harbor Inn, and Jolly Pumpkin will offer breakfast treats at this historic setting.

This ride starts early Saturday morning, downtown Traverse City at the Park Place Hotel and will finish in time to watch the start of the criterium. The goals of the Charity Ride are to promote a fun riding environment and most importantly raise money for The Munson Women’s Cancer Fund.
