Final updates for this Sunday

Last reminder for this Sunday's BBQ and fun ride!

Hey everybody,

Just sending out one last reminder to sign up for the Laurelwood Block Party and Fun Ride this Sunday, May 24th, from 12 pm to 5 pm. A few updates:

-We have booked a great local band, Nickel Arcade, to entertain us while we soak up the sun! Check them out at www.myspace.com/nickelarcadesucks

-For those looking for a shorter ride, a modified route of about 8- 10 miles will be offered

-Many great giveaways from some of the team sponsors, plus a silent auction for an Orbea jersey autographed by Olympic gold medalist Sammy Sanchez!

-Dr. Craig Nichols, who successfully treated Lance Armstrong during his battle with testicular cancer, will be on hand to enjoy the festivities and to say a few words.

-The forecast calls for 83 degrees and sunny on Sunday--what better way to enjoy the beautiful day than with a bike ride and BBQ?

Special thanks to the Ironclad Cycling team, who's ride to fight hunger is stopping by Laurelwood Brewery on Sunday. Please bring a can or two of food if you can to help say thanks to them, and check out www.ironcladcycling.com for details of their ride.

Come enjoy everything the afternoon has to offer while supporting the fight against cancer!

Laurelwood Brewery Block Party!

The team's annual Lance Armstrong Foundation fun-draiser will place an emphasis on "fun". With the Livestrong Challenge moving up to our neighbors in Seattle, this will be one of the only chances to support cancer prevention and survivorship by riding a bike in Portland. Of course, that's only the beginning...think BBQ, award winning beer (my favorite is the Workhorse IPA), live music, prizes, and some of the most scenic views of Portland. All in one afternoon, all for a great cause!

Who:

Team Land Rover-Orbea is partnering with one of our great sponsors, Laurelwood Brewing Co., to put on this great event.

When:

Sunday May 24th, 12 pm to 5 pm(ish)

What else:

Meet and ride with members of Portland's own Land Rover-Orbea professional cycling team. They will be on hand to participate in the ride, meet everyone, shake hands, sign autographs, flex their quads, and enjoy the festivities.

John Ohnstead, a LAF regional mentor, will be on hand to answer any questions on how YOU can become more involved with the LAF.

Don't forget your helmet! See you there!
