My friend, Jeff Dowler, wrote this wonderful post that brings light to the Tour de Cove Fundraiser. Sounds like a great event, and certainly a very worthy cause!

It's that time again, for Blazin' Saddles at the Tour de Cove fundraiser for the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF) in La Jolla California on Sunday October 25th, from 9:30 until 2 pm.

 

Challenged Athletes at the Tour de Cove and San Diego Triathlon Challenge in La Jolla 2008

Setting for the Tour de Cove in La Jolla CaliforniaNo Mel Brooks, insults, or raucous humor, just a bunch of very talented athletes participating in the San Diego Triathlon Challenge (the 16th annual) sponsored by Aspen Medical Products, AND a 4 ½ hour spin-a-thon with 100 spincycles and krankcycles overlooking beautiful La Jolla Cove. 

The San Diego Triathlon Challenge is a half ironman event:

  • 1.2 mile ocean swim beginning and ending at La Jolla Cove
  • 56 mile challenging and hilly bike ride
  • 13.1 mile hilly run from La Jolla Cove to Torrey Pines State Park and back

La Jolla Cove inLa Jolla CaliforniaWorld-class challenged athletes, professional triathletes, celebrities and other able-bodied atheletes will participate on this beautiful course along the ocean. 

Tour de "Blazin' Saddles" Cove is an amazing spinning event with folks participating individually and in teams for periods of 1 to 4 and ½ hours on spin and krankcycles with music, guest instructors and entertainment on a jumbo outdoor screen. 

All proceeds raised by participants will benefits the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), where 80% of the funds they raise annually go to support physically challenged athletes in every state and dozens of countries with handcycles, prosthetic devices, varying kinds of adaptive sports equipment (e.g., sports wheelchairs, mono-skis, tandem bicycles), training and competition expenses, mentoring and fitness clinics and community outreach programs to enable these individuals to continue training and competing in athletic events.

Holy toledo, Melissa, a 1.2 ocean swim, 56-mile bike ride and 13-mile run? I couldn't even make it halfway, and I'm an able-bodied person. This is incredible! My hat is off to these athletes.

Thanks for sharing this, Melissa. This is SUCH a worthy cause. I spent some time there last year and seeing some of these athletes participating brought tears to my eyes. I have NOTHING to complain about!! It is well worth the time if anyone is in the area.
