Tour De Canal
Washington, D.C.
 September 11 and 12, 2010

The Alzheimer’s Association, National Capital Area Chapter, would like to invite riders to join us on one of the longest off-road charity bike ride in the United States; Tour De Canal!  Over a two day span we will be biking the length of the C&O Canal to raise awareness about the disease.    With approximately 250 participants every year, Tour De Canal has raised over $1.2 million for the fight against Alzheimer’s since 1997.

There are three riding options to choose from: a 184-mile ride, a 100-mile ride, and a 20-mile Memory Ride, in which training and qualifying rides are available.  Please note, though, that in order to participate in the 184- or the 100-mile rides you must complete a qualifying 50-mile ride prior to Tour De Canal (Qualifying rides take place every weekend in August).  Registration for the 100 and 184 mile rides closes August 14, 2010.  

Having a team effort in fighting Alzheimer’s makes the experience exhilarating by knowing you are all working together for a common goal!    Whichever ride you choose, you will be making a vital impact on the awareness of Alzheimer’s and also raising funds which will maintain the Association’s ability to provide programs and services to those in need.
