Month of June = Pride

All throughout Florida and the country, Pride Events have been occurring. People from everywhere come to attend and enjoy the festivities. In Florida, our Benefiting Agencies have been busy marketing SMART Ride at the events. Hopefully you personally saw them, while other individuals may have run away at the thought of riding 165 miles. In the words of Leslie Jordon in the movie Sordid Lives..."our fans may be crazy, but they're loyal"!

So my message this month is show your Pride and support your community by getting involved in SMART Ride. Remember, 100% of what you raise in pledges goes back to the Benefiting Agencies. Ask your family, friends and co-workers to get involved. Whether they ride, crew, pledge or donate, there is something for everyone to take part in. Let's work together to make this the most successful SMART Ride yet.

Training Rides
If you are interested in leading a training ride, let us know. You must be willing to be the contact person, make sure everyone follows safety rules, help new participants, and get training ride waivers signed. Send a note to David at davidspacht@thesmartride.org with all of the information about your training ride and he can post it on the web calendar.
