Hey OBRA land,



The day after the state championship race this year is the Pedal For Pet's

fundraiser ride. The State Championship race is helping with some of the

cost and supplies for the event and several of us will be riding and

supporting the event.



If you can't stick around for the ride on the following day and still wish

to support it please drop of a few $$ in the donation jar at registration.

Race Director



Here is the information about the event,



The event will take place on Sunday June 15th, 2003. Pedal For Pets is an

organized bike ride raising money for Lane County Animal Regulation

Authority. LCARA has a program called "Adopt a Kennel" which ask $1500 of

each contributor, and Pedal For Pets is aiming to reach this goal. Half of

the profits goes toward the creation of spay and neuter coupons available to

the public, and the other half funds care for stray animals who require

emergency medical treatment. All profits over $1500 will benefit other

programs at LCARA, such as their new cat room, or help purchase pet food and

supplies.



There are several options available for participation.

1) Kitten Crawl: 10 miles, this ride is a flat loop that includes part of

the Fern Ridge Trail. All roads used are wide and have bike lanes.

2) Spaniel Stretch: 27 miles, Still a flat ride, not all roads have bike

lanes.

3) Greyhound Haul: 45 miles, Make sure your brakes, legs and lungs all work

well before you take off on this ride! A nice ride out through the Fern

Ridge and Veneta areas.

4) Supporting sponsor: If you can't make it out for the ride donate to

another rider, $1- Skies the limit.
