The Lupus Wolfride Grand Fondo

The Lupus Foundation of America – Heartland Chapter is proud to announce that the 75 cyclists who rode 50 and 100 miles in the 2009 Lupus WolfRide GranFondo raised $16,000 to support Chapter services and research to find the causes and cure for lupus!

Once again in 2010 lets ride for the cause and bring Lupus to its knees-See you on the ride

Created in the tradition of the GranFondo's of Europe, the Lupus WolfRide GranFondo is a long-distance non-competitive ride/race, where all participants' ride times will be recorded. The Lupus WolfRide GranFondo is certainly not your typical charity ride!

The routes are equivalent to the Half Ironman (56 miles) and Full Ironman distances (112 miles), designed for non-competitive cyclists and racers alike, with a start/finish in beautiful Columbia, Illinois, traversing the fast-rolling hills of St. Clair County.

The 2010 Lupus WolfRide GranFondo is expected to bring approximately 200 cyclists together to help the Lupus Foundation of America, Heartland Chapter find a cure for and spread awareness of lupus.

A dedicated team of professionals and volunteers are there to support cyclists along the ride, including SAG support and rest/refuel stops along the route.

There will be a celebration and tribute to those who are fighting or have battled this devastating and chronic disease that will include food, music, and more.

The day will finish with a pasta dinner to satisfy the appetite you've worked up after a great day of cycling!
