"Tour de East Windsor" - A Bike Ride For Sight

The East Windsor Lions Club invites you to participate in  “The Tour de East Windsor” - A Bike Ride For Sight, on Sunday - September 30, 2012.

This inaugural event celebrates 59 years of service by the East Windsor Lions to the cause of saving eyesight........
       
.......and you can help support our sight-saving work by registering to ride in “The Tour de East Windsor”!

The Tour de East Windsor is a non-competitive bike ride over the lightly traveled, mostly rural roads of East Windsor and Broad Brook. Riders can choose rides of 5, 10 or 20 miles in length. The Tour de East Windsor is open to anyone who wants to support the work of the Lions Club. However, riders under the age of 14 must be accompanied on the ride by an adult rider (someone over the age of 21.)

Riders who pay a reduced registration fee (see below) will have a small fund raising requirement, with all of the proceeds from the ride going to benefit the charitable work of the East Windsor Lions Club in the cause of saving eyesight.

IMPORTANT REGISTRATION DEADLINES:

Early registration fee of $15 for the ride runs until August 15th.  After that date until September 15th, the registration fee is $20.
