From US Open Cycling:
Summer is over. School's in. The colleges throughout our beautiful state are bustling and you're back to work. Time to start storing nuts in preparation for a hard winter ahead?
Not quite!
Time, instead, to stay toned just a bit longer before the cold and dark of winter seals us up until March.
Time for the Inaugural Providence Hill Climb Challenge!
It's just over 1,000 feet long and only 63 feet up, but Providence's Capitol Hill will generate miles of smiles as bicyclists young to old, novice to expert climb it to raise money so U.S. Open Cycling can continue to help people - and the environment - be healthier. Our mission is to reduce overweight and obesity by helping people integrate bicycling for fitness, fun and transportation into their daily lives.
One solution to America's weight, environment and oil dependence problems is, simply, the bicycle. But it takes you to pedal it! We have designed the Providence Hill Climb to be challenging - not daunting - to everyone with a bicycle and a heartbeat.
So please join us, and put your mettle to the pedal, on October 3rd between 11:30 and 3:00pm at the corner of Canal and Smith Streets in Providence.
Parking is free along Canal and Main Streets on Sunday. The US Open Cycling website has registration and other info. Sign-in will be at the Roger Williams National Memorial opposite the start line.
If you cannot come, please show your support by donating to our cause!
Thank you! Your health, America's health, depends on you. We're here to help!
