THE "DUKE MULTIPLE MYELOMA BIKE RIDE" Save the date: Saturday July 11, 2009 at 8:00 am
Welcome to the second edition of "Duke Multiple Myeloma Bike Ride". The ride is organized in honor of all patients with multiple myeloma and their families. Donations raised are used to support research against multiple myeloma at Duke University.
The Duke Multiple Myeloma is a 50 K or 100 K road bike ride from the Duke
campus through rural Durham and Orange Counties. Your registration fee will
help support the families and patients undergoing treatment at the Multiple
Myeloma Center at Duke as well as to support research against this disease.
These two rides will begin in front of the North Pavilion at Duke University Hospital. Both routes then go west through Duke Forest. The 100 K
route continues on into rural Orange County before returning to Duke. The
terrain is typical for the Piedmont area of North Carolina---the roads wind
through forests and farms with short but frequent rolling hills.
Both rides will begin at 8 am. Both routes will stay open until 3 pm.
There will be rest stops and SAG vans throughout the routes.
