Revolution - A Cycling Fundraiser Benefiting Athletes with Disabilities
Saturday, October 6th, 2012
Trentadue Winery - Sonoma County, CA
Now in its tenth year, The Revolution is a ride, festival and silent auction that brings together hundreds of people to raise funds for BORP and promote disability awareness.
With routes ranging from 10 miles-100k, weekend warriors and serious cyclists join disabled and visually impaired riders on a fully-supported ride in the stunning landscapes and spectacular vineyards of Sonoma County.
65 Mile (100K) Take the Geyser/ Pine Flat Challenge! This year, earn your bragging rights by climbing and conquering the Geyser/Pine Flat course. This route begins with a gorgeous tour of the geysers, with climbs that promise to evoke a sense of awe. After you’ve tackled the geysers, this route introduces Pine Flat Road, one of the most beautiful and undisturbed rides we’ve found in Northern California. Click here for a route map of the 65 mile route.
50 Mile: The Geyser Experience: Here is the route for those distance riders who love to seek out new challenges and work for that hard-earned sense of accomplishment. We know you’ve been looking for an excuse to conquer the geysers, so this year we’ve devoted our two longest routes to getting you up on that summit. Click here for the 50 mile route.
25 Mile: The Vineyard Tour: Through flat valley lands and a few rolling hills, the 25 mile route passes oak woodlands, orchards, and Sonoma's world-renowned wineries. There is an optional 5 mile out and back to Lake Sonoma before rejoining the route that travels northward through the picturesque town of Geyserville. Click here for the 25 mile route.
10 Mile: The Trentadue Rally: We are bringing our 10 mile route to Trentadue, with a tour of the Trentadue vineyards and neighboring roadways. You’ll begin and end your ride at Trentadue Winery, where the festival takes place.
Virtual Rider: Even if you can't make it to the Rev yourself you can help support all of BORP's programs by being a Virtual Rider. With this option, you register as a rider, fundraise to assist our participants, and ‘ride in absentee’. In this way, you are able to fully support the Revolution and our programs, even if you cannot ride in person. Select "Virtual Rider" from the "What route will you ride?" drop down menu. Register as a Virtual Rider.
The Festival
Following the ride, riders, supporter, vounteers and friends celebrate the day’s success at a Food & Music Festival at Geyserville’s Trentadue Winery.
The Revolution Festival begins at 1pm, and features gourmet food, fine wine, live music, a silent auction, massages, and a great program! The event program begins at 5pm and will last approximately 30-45 minutes.
The Festival is a way to join in the celebration of the day's success and another way to help support people with physical disabilities. All festival attendees (who are not registered as riders or volunteers) must register in advance. Festival registration is only $100 and space is limited!
