Sunday, September 25
1:00pm - 5:00pm
Greer Memorial Hospital
Want to help get people out of wheelchairs and onto bikes? UCAN!
Please join GHS Every Woman Cycling Team for "Yes, UCAN!" a community ride to benefit the UCAN Adaptive Cycling Program on Sunday, September 25, pedaling at 1pm from Greer Memorial Hospital.
We have three route distances -- 48 miles, 39 miles and 25 miles -- with designated leaders for A, B, C & D groups. Plan to hang around afterwards for complimentary post-ride refreshments including cold drinks and hot pizza from Wild Ace Pizza & Pub.
This benefit ride is FREE but we welcome – indeed, encourage – donations to help purchase new hand-cycles for the Roger C. Peace Rehabilitation Hospital UCAN Adaptive Cycling Program.
UCAN – the Upstate Community Abilities Network – is a 100% donor-supported outreach program that provides people with disabilities the opportunity to enjoy outdoor recreational activities. UCAN’s Adaptive Cycling Program maintains a fleet of hand-cycles, trikes and recumbents for participants during twice-monthly group rides designed to develop independence, confidence and fitness through the sport of cycling.
Adaptive bikes are pricey – 100% of the money raised during our benefit ride will go toward increasing UCAN’s fleet. Every $20 donation gets one ticket toward DOORPRIZES including:
* Eight-Week Computrainer Series (session of your choice through Spring 2017) at Greenville Cycling & Multisport
* Winter Overhaul Service Package at FreeHub Bicycles
* Bike Getaway (one night stay plus two trail bikes for the day) at the Swamp Rabbit Inn
* Bike Law Kit
* Spin Doctor Team 33 Tool Kit
* One Year of Free Haircuts at Supercuts (any of these seven locations: Pelham Commons, Hudson Corners, Taylors Square, North Hampton Market, Easley Town Center, Dorman Centre and Hillcrest Shopping Center)
