[C4 Rides] Bike To DC Charity Ride For Fallen Law Enforcement Officers

[Matt Hartman]

Hi Folks,

A few of our C4 regular riders are members of the law enforcement 
community and are working toward participating in a charity ride from 
Charlotte to DC in May.  David Steitz is participating and has asked me 
to pass along this information.  Let's all pull together and see that 
these guys are supported in any way that we can!

_To Central Carolina Cycling Club Members __

On May 10 I will join other officers from Law Enforcement agencies in 
Charlotte-Mecklenburg to ride bicycles over 400 miles from Charlotte to 
Washington, DC to honor our fellow officers who have given their lives 
in the line of duty.

The ride is not easy there is very little flat land between Charlotte 
and DC. Each community and city the ride goes through reminds us of the 
citizens we serve in Charlotte-Mecklenburg.. It is through the 
thoughtfulness and generosity of businesses and individual citizens that 
we are able to cycle four days to honor those who have made the ultimate 
sacrifice for the community we serve.

This year's ride is only a few weeks away - we will depart from CMPD 
Headquarters on Monday morning, May 10, 2010. Details about the ride may 
be found on our website,. www.biketodc.com <http://www.biketodc.com/>. 
We will ride for four days, arriving in Washington DC in time to attend 
the Candlelight Vigil on Thursday evening at the National Law 
Enforcement Officers' Memorial.
