As the holidays approach, many of us are thinking of ways to get into the spirit of giving. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved, but we like to find ways to give while doing something we love — like cycling. Fortunately, there are dozens of charity rides throughout the country, supporting many great causes. As Utah’s Bicycle Lawyers, we are partial to our home state. This post identifies some of our recommended Utah charity bike rides.
Great Utah Charity Bike Rides
Below are two great options to ride for charity. If you know of other opportunities, leave a comment and let us know!
- Utah Tour de Cure
The Tour de Cure is actually a series of charity bike rides spread across the country, covering 43 states. The registration fees and any funds you raise contribute to diabetes research. Diabetes affects nearly 1 in 10 Americans, but there is still no cure. By taking part in this ride, you can help change that.
The next Utah Tour de Cure will take place on June 10, 2017 in Brigham City. Cyclists can choose to ride as long as 10 to 100 miles. The ride includes stocked rest stops, lunch, and a festival following the race.
- Cycle for Life
The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation also holds a series of rides through Cycle for Life, including one in Utah. This year’s ride raised over $100,000 for cystic fibrosis research. This disease affects tens of thousands of people worldwide, but again, you can help progress towards a cure.
The next Utah Cycle for Life race will be September 16, 2017, and registration opens December 20. You can choose to cycle from 20 to 100 miles through Coalville, Utah.
Your Utah Bicycle Lawyers
Bike rides are a lot of fun, especially when they are for a good cause and you are riding with friends. We hope that you enjoy any charity bike rides you choose to participate in. Maybe we will see each other on the road!
