Join us for a Sunday morning ride in the country, starting at the Providence Elementary School just off Hwy 380 going north on back roads for either a 25 or 50 mile bike ride. This is a charity event to raise money to assist one of Little Elm's Finest acquire hearing aids for his 3 year old daughter.

Portions of your tax deductible donation of $25.00 pre -registration and $35.00 late registration will be earmarked for this purpose. The rest will go back into the community of Little Elm to support other residents and programs like the food bank, pre-K and K vision screenings, Box 620, and the library.

SAFETY FIRST

Any rider not wearing a helmet will be denied participation.

Excellent maps for all routes will be provided to each rider and tour markings will be in place for all routes. This is a tour—not a race. Riders must obey the TexasVehicle Code, Share The Road Rules and Guidelines, and ride safely.

YOUR SAFETY AND ENJOYMENT ARE OUR PRIMARY CONCERN.

The 2nd Annual Little Elm "Rip ROARIN' Charity Bike Ride" will proceed rain or shine. No refunds after October 7th, 2010, and no refunds if rained out.

This year a portion of the proceeds from this fundraising ride will benefit organizations and agencies both local and national in scope. We have a special project we will be sponsoring, Kallie is a three year old in our community that is in dire need of hearing aids as she is profoundly deaf. She will need new aids every three years and the inserts every 6 months as well as therapy to take her from a two year old level to the three year old developmental age she should be at.

Our club supports the Little Elm Food Bank, Friends of the Library, Burn out families, and provides scholarships for seniors. We help with the annual Heath Fair, and hold an annual "Pancake Breakfast with Santa" with a homemade breakfast for $5.00 and last minute gift vendors, door prizes, and raffles. Pictures with Santa are a $5.00 donation and you leave with your pictures.

We also have an Early Vision Screening program to help catch potential vison problems in pre-school and kindergarten children. We assist those who need financial assistance in getting the proper eye exams and glasses if needed!
