Hi So Cal BF Folk!
Just a little reminder that November 10th is the Planet Ultra Solvang's Finest Century - A Ride To Benefit Challenged Athletes Foundation.
It's a great ride for a wonderful cause.
Since 1994, CAF has raised more than $11 million – allowing the Foundation to satisfy thousands of funding requests from challenged athletes in all 50 states and dozens of countries. Eighty-two cents of every dollar raised by CAF provides funding, programs and a growing endowment fund that is getting challenged athletes into the game - and will continue to do so into the future. Whether it’s a $2,000 handcycle, helping underwrite a $15,000 running prosthetic or arranging enthusiastic encouragement from a mentor who has triumphed over a similar injury, CAF’s mission is clear: give those with the desire to live active, competitive lifestyles every opportunity to compete in the sports they love. At the 2004 Paralympic Games in Athens, Greece, 45 of the 235 participating U.S. athletes (almost 20 percent) were supported by CAF. More recently at the 2006 Winter Paralympic Games in Torino, Itlay, CAF supported 23 of the 56 (41 percent) participating U.S. athletes.
Planet Ultra has raised over $25,000 so far this year for CAF - and we hope to do much more! Proceeds from the Solvang's Finest Century event will be donated directly to CAF!
Entry includes the finest route in the Solvang/Santa Ynez Valley, four fully stocked checkpoints, goodie bag, Planet Ultra water bottle, event t-shirt, and a post-ride buffet lunch.

Hope to see some of you in Solvang!
