On June 2, Cy-Fair High School grad Reghan Conrey will embark on a 70-day, 4,500-mile bicycle journey from Austin, TX to Anchorage, AK as part of the 14th annual Texas 4000 charity bike ride.
The event, which features more than 70 riders traveling three distinct routes from Austin to Anchorage, has raised more than $7 million for cancer research, donating to organizations like the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, University of Texas at Austin Department of Biomedical Engineering and numerous others.

Lend Your Legs:Social Cycling Austin And Texas School For The Blind
www.travelbreakingnews.net
The TSBVI has some tandem bikes for us to use. We are meeting at the school and taking the kids on a social ride. It’s an incredible experience to say the least. This is a chance to make a kiddo’s week just by riding your bike (something you would more than likely be doing anyway). One of our volunteers made this short about the ride a while back. http://tinyurl.com/3vvwtdx VOLUNTEER FORM AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE:http://tinyurl.com/4y8ge9n You only need to fill this out if you want to captain a tandem.

This year’s event is set for May 19, and more than 40 official locations will participate, along with a smattering of rogue stations that tend to pop up around town.
Bike Austin organizes the event as a way to thank regular commuters – but also as a way to get new …
