Thanks for doing this Jeff- the more teams we can get the better.
Events like these really help with the general public's perception of
cyclists- so if your team can help out- please do!

Good afternoon everyone,

Well this is our 4th annual event we have done and exciting news for us, we have another OBRA team that wanted to get involved and take on a family.....Really want to thank Emily and her team Oregon Bike Shop for getting involved.....I just got confirmation from Doernbechers that we have found a family for them.....

So there will be formal email coming out soon if you do want to get involved by riding with us or making a donation towards raising funds for these families....

But for now, these are some quick details on the ride....

Event...4th Annual Hammer Velo Pay It Forward Xmas Ride....

Event is for needy families that have children at OHSU Doernbechers Children's Hospital....

Purpose: To provide a great holiday for families that have sick children in need of some help during Christmas, and trust me, the first 3 years we have done this, it is well worth the efforts we put into it when you see the kids faces when we pull up on our bikes with backpacks and trailer loads of gifts, and our bikes all lit up with Xmas lights and bells.....We raised over 1000.00 last year from our team and the help of many of you and I hope some of you can help us out again this year with whatever you can, plus come ride with us....Or just come ride with us.....Its a heart warming night for sure....

Date of Ride....Tuesday evening....Dec. 17th.....Full Moon that night, so fingers crossed for a clear night to ride....details to come on time and start location.....

Thanks for reading.....
