VLSP Cycling Challenge
July 13, 2008, 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.

Join us for an 18-mile trek around Paradise Loop in Marin County, starting and finishing at Paradise Beach Park in Tiburon, which has plenty of parking, BBQ pits and access to and views of the bay.

The Course

The course has some very easy rollers with no substantial climbs and overlooks the bay. Traffic around Paradise Loop exists, but is less filled by autos than most cycling routes. The trek would start at Paradise Park in Tiburon at 9:30 am, which would allow all participants to complete the trek by 11:30 a.m.

A BBQ will await the finishers and their family and friends.

Benefiting

Proceeds from the Cycling Challenge will benefit the Volunteer Legal Services Program (VLSP) of The Bar Association of San Francisco. Every year VLSP serves thousands of people in desperate need of legal help. VLSP provides this help with the assistance of volunteers throughout the Bay Area for nearly 30 years. VLSP's award-winning program changes lives by using a holistic approach that offers social services as well as legal assistance. Help us make San Francisco a better community.
