Forget about Tour de France, Tour de Corn or even your neighborhood Tour de Decker Prairie….it’s all about Tour de Pink this year!
Tour de Pink is the first bike ride in Texas solely benefiting breast cancer. The event is held annually in order to raise money for the Pink Ribbons Project‘ in motion to fight breast cancer through awareness and education programs.
Wheels young and old will be lining up, Sunday, September 13th at Prairie View A&M University just outside Houston, TX. Routes are available for all levels and in addition to the registration fee, each cyclist is required to raise $100 in pledges from family and friends.
I’m going to be quite frank…this is your chance to ride for all the boobies across the world! You will not only help to save lives…but you will be supporting a beautiful cause and that my friends, is priceless.
So dig those fuchsia lycras out of storage and WD-40 the Big Tike…it’s time to lock-load-n-ride.

Thanks for the great announcement. This ride is for everyone – novice to expert, young to old, female or male – there's a ride length for your level! If you missed on-line registration head on over to Bike Barn on Kirby either Friday or Saturday to register.
You just need a 'Big Tike' and a helmet! See you there!
